岡沢 秀彦 研究テーマ
Functional imaging using methods for molecular imaging; Kinetic modeling using PET; Activation studies with O-15 water or fMRI
コメント

The research target of the Division of Biomedical Imaging is to generate, analyze and translate various functional in vivo images using positron emission tomography (PET), MRI and other modalities of medical imaging devices. Kinetic modeling with physiological analysis and applying molecular imaging methods to clinical studies are good examples of our research target. Brain activation studies using fMRI are also a major subject of our research interest.

Development and evaluation of new molecular imaging probes for PET
コメント
My interest is in visualizing the changes in our body non-invasively using molecular imaging probes. I have been developing new molecular imaging probes to image cardiac sympathetic nervous function and noradrenergic nervous function in the brain. Now I am starting to develop new tumor imaging probes and probes for internal radiation therapy.

野上宗伸 研究テーマ
Development of molecular imaging and hybrid imaging in oncology
コメント
I am conducting clinical research using hybrid imaging, which is a combination of different imaging modalities such as PET and CT or MRI. In particular, my activity is focused on developing a new imaging method using integrated and simultaneous PET/MRI system, which combines PET with various tracers (molecular probes) and MRI with both functional and morphological imaging.

Development and evaluation of new molecular imaging probes for PET
コメント
New molecular imaging probes, which utilize specific characters of the targeted diseases, will be developed. Molecular probe candidate compounds combined with the features of various modalities such as PET, SPECT, MRI, and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF), will be created making full use of synthetic chemistry techniques. By cyclical consideration of molecular design, chemical synthesis, and biological evaluation of the candidate compounds, I am trying to develop a probe which leads to the establishment of a new diagnostic method.

コメント
I am engaged in the research on radiopharmaceutical chemistry: synthesis, in vitro and in vivo evaluation of novel molecular probes for PET imaging. In addition, I am trying to develop an original automatic synthesis module. I am also involved in the production and quality control of radiopharmaceuticals for clinical PET studies..

コメント
After moving to the newly-established Department of Nuclear Power and Energy Safety Engineering, I have been collaborating with researchers at the Biomedical Imaging Research Center. I would like to combine the molecular imaging technique using position nucleotides with the optical imaging technique to exploit new research areas.

Metabolic analysis of protist and animal cells - How have mitochondria evolved? -
コメント
I have studied on evolution of protosynthesis in eukaryotes in University of Tsukuba until 2004 June and then moved to BIRC, University of Fukui. I am interested in evolution of eukaryotes and their symbiotic evolution. My recent research subject is metabolic analysis of ptotist and animal cells and the evolutionary implication.

Development of F-18 radiopharmaceutical for PET imaging of infections.
コメント
Development of more efficient and less time-consuming reactions to synthesize new PET radiotracers is a challenge for radiochemists due to the short half-lives of positron-emitting radioisotopes. Aminosugars labeled with positron-emitting radioisotopes have been investigated for the in-vivo evaluation of biochemical processes in cancerous tissue. Since aminosugars are obligatory structural components of many biologically important macromolecules including glycoproteins and polysaccharides, they could also be used for imaging infection using PET. The aim of my research is to develop aminosugar labeled compounds which will contribute to progress in PET imaging of infections.

コメント
The rapid advance in molecular and cellar biology has brought us ever growing knowledge of molecular events underlying physiological and pathological changes in our body and enabled new types of therapy directly targeting the molecular events. My interest is in visualizing the changes in our body non-invasively using radiolabeled probes at the molecular level, typically as the changes in gene expression, to realize the quicker and more accurate diagnosis and to choose effective therapy protocols, as well as to further deepen our understanding of the mechanisms supporting our life.

Design and Evaluation of New Radiopharmaceuticals for Functional Diagnosis and Tumor Therapy, Pharmacokinetic Regulation
コメント
The main purpose of my research is the development of novel radiopharmaceuticals for noninvasive imaging of physiological and/or biochemical function. I have been designed and evaluated new radiolabeled compounds, mainly metabolic substrate derivatives, in order to visualize metabolic and neuronal function using molecular imaging approaches. The development of tumor imaging and therapeutic agents are also approved. I am investigating pharmacokinetic regulation methods by DDS technique.

Recent progress in molecular biology brings us a new insight of diseases, namely abnormality of gene expression. Our focus is to develop molecular probes which allow us to visualize disease-related gene expression non-invasively. Present target organs are brain, heart and tumors. Internal radiation therapy agent labeled with beta emitting nuclide is also under development.
