Our mission is to develop and translate noninvasive MR- and PET-based metabolic imaging tools that reveal actionable metabolic vulnerabilities and accelerate the development of new therapies. We integrate rigorous molecular and cellular validation with preclinical animal studies and matched co-clinical trials, advancing promising imaging biomarkers through IND-enabling steps and into patient studies through close partnerships with physician-scientists and industry.
