Kurt R. Zinn,
Ph.D. -- In Vivo Molecular ImagingKurt R. Zinn,
Ph.D. -- In Vivo Molecular ImagingMy research focus is the development and evaluation of radiolabeled molecules for in vivo molecular imaging. Using Tc-99m-radiolabeling and gamma camera imaging, receptors are imaged repeatedly over time in animal models of disease. This approach allows the development and evaluation of specific targeted therapy.
