This program supports the development, evaluation, and application of multimodal molecular imaging/therapy agents and novel molecular imaging methods for studying normal biological and pathophysiological processes at the cell and molecular levels. The program further supports clinical or preclinical applications of molecular imaging research. Examples of supported research include the development and application of surface functionalized nanoparticles, bioactivated imaging agents, theranostic agents, and high sensitivity/specificity molecular imaging approaches.
