Biofunctional Imaging Analysis
Professor: Masashi Ueda
“In vivo molecular imaging” is defined as the non-invasive visualization and investigations of biological processes within living systems at the molecular and cellular levels. Probes emitting signals such as radiation, nuclear magnetic resonance, fluorescence, and bioluminescence are often used to visualize in vivo molecular processes, such as gene expression and protein–protein interactions. In our laboratory, we conduct researches on the development of molecular imaging probes for noninvasive diagnosis of various diseases and the noninvasive analysis of biological functions using in vivo molecular imaging techniques. We also develop therapeutics for various diseases.
