The MICC will continue to serve as a crucial interface for various proposed interdisciplinary projects. Dr. Vijay Sharma is the MICC Director. He is a chemist trained in inorganic and organic chemistry with extensive experience in radiopharmaceutical and conjugation chemistry and will be directly responsible for managing, prioritizing, and executing the various day-to-day activities ofthe MICC. Sam Achilefu, Ph.D., ICMIC preceptor provides additional peptide synthesis and fluorophore chemistry expertise for the MICC. The new MICC will be moving and expand with the BRIGHT Institute onto approximately 1,200 sq. ft. of of space now under construction (Jan. 2011 completion) on the 7* floor of the new BJC Institute of Health building, an 11 story state-of-the-art stmcture in the center of the Washington University Medical School campus (See Appendix 1). In addition, PET chemistry laboratories in the Clinical Sciences Research Building and South Building (Robert Mach, Ph.D.) serve as supplemental resources and radiochemistry laboratories for the ICMIC, thereby enabling full access to high level synthetic chemistry facilities. The DBBS Chemical Biology Labs located down the street from the BJC Institute of Health building house a 300 MHz NMR spectrometer and X-ray diffractometer. Additionally, a new 400 MHz NMR spectrophotometer has been purchased through a shared Instrumentation grant and will be installed in the Biochemistry Department down the street. The Washington University Danforth Campus, Department of Chemistry Spectroscopy Laboratory houses IR, mass spect, and NMR spectrometers available for use by the Core. We have full access to these later instruments for discounted fees. The MICC instruments include a hot cell for PET radiochemistry, Rotovap x 3, vacuum pumps, fume hoods x 8, stills x 4, hot plates, ovens, analytical scales, TLC scanning radiometric detector, computer-controlled gradient HPLC systems x 6 (Waters x 5, Rainin), fraction collector, Fluorometer (Varian), FT-IR (PerkinElmer), UV/Vis spectrophotometer (PerkinElmer), GC-MS spectrophotometer (Varian), chemical synthesis microwave (CEM), sealed glove box, solvents, lead fort and storage. Peptide synthesis can be performed for the MICC under the direction of Dr. Achilefu. Synthetic activities of the several radiochemistry labs on campus are coordinated depending on the needs of ICMIC investigators and project logistics. Several radiopharmaceuticals necessary for execution of ICMIC Projects, such as ^^FHBG (Research Project 4), are synthesized in the MICC for pre-clinical studies and will be synthesized by the Clinical PET Radiopharmacy under an IND for clinical studies. The MICC consists of three functional components: A) chemistry sen/ices for other investigators; B) discovery research and validation of new agents, and C) training of students, post-doctoral fellows, technical staff, and investigators in the development of specialized compounds and reagents for molecular imaging applications.

MICC将继续作为各种拟议的跨学科项目的重要接口。 博士Vijay Sharma是MICC主任。他是一名化学家，在无机和有机化学方面受过训练， 在放射性药物和共轭化学方面拥有丰富的经验，并将直接负责 管理、优先考虑和执行MICC的各种日常活动。萨姆·萨福博士，ICMIC preceptor为MICC提供额外的肽合成和荧光团化学专业知识。 新的MICC将与BRIGHT Institute一起搬迁并扩大到约1，200平方米。英尺的 目前正在建设中的空间（2011年1月完工），位于新的BJC健康研究所的7楼 这座11层楼高的最先进的建筑位于华盛顿大学医学院的中心 校园（见附录1）。此外，临床科学研究大楼的PET化学实验室 南楼（Robert Mach，Ph.D.）作为补充资源和放射化学实验室 为ICMIC，从而使充分利用高水平的合成化学设施。DBBS化学 生物实验室位于BJC健康研究所大楼的街道上，拥有300 MHz NMR 光谱仪和X射线衍射仪。此外，一个新的400 MHz NMR分光光度计已被 通过共享仪器补助金购买，并将安装在生物化学系 街上华盛顿大学丹福思校区化学系光谱实验室 拥有红外光谱仪、质谱仪和核磁共振光谱仪，可供核心使用。我们可以完全接触到这些 后来的工具折扣费。MICC仪器包括用于PET放射化学的热室， Rotovap x 3、真空泵、通风柜x 8、蒸馏器x 4、加热板、烘箱、分析天平、TLC扫描 放射性检测器，计算机控制的梯度HPLC系统x 6（沃茨x 5，Rainin），馏分收集器， 荧光计（Varian）、FT-IR（PerkinElmer）、UV/维斯分光光度计（PerkinElmer）、GC-MS 分光光度计（Varian）、化学合成微波（CEM）、密封手套箱、溶剂、铅堡和 存储.可在Dr. Jenefu的指导下进行MICC的肽合成。合成 校园内几个放射化学实验室的活动根据ICMIC的需要进行协调 调查员和项目后勤。执行ICMIC项目所需的几种放射性药物， 如^^FHBG（研究项目4），在MICC中合成用于临床前研究，并将 由临床PET放射性药物学公司在IND下合成，用于临床研究。 MICC由三个功能组件组成：A）为其他研究者提供化学服务; B） 发现研究和验证新的代理，和C）培训学生，博士后研究员，技术 工作人员和研究人员开发分子成像专用化合物和试剂 应用.
