Workshop on Molecular Imaging Agents

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议举办为期2.5天的分子显像剂研讨会。我们的主要目标是进一步探索分子成像和分子靶向在患者护理中的应用。随着个体化医学的出现，分子成像是人群分层的关键，这样就可以给合适的病人服用合适的药物。在当前靶向药物时代，靶向成像是验证药物行为和监测疾病的关键。讲习班的第二个具体目标是培训。随着分子成像技术的迅速发展，迫切需要掌握各种技术的学生。在后基因组时代，有更多的技术和概念必须融入到学生的培训中。这个研讨会应该有利于那些成功竞争学生奖学金参加这次会议的学生，因为它将涵盖Sunrise Tutorial会议的基本概念，学生将有机会在分子成像领域的专家面前展示他们的研究，这有利于详细的讨论。我们的第三个具体目标是传播讲习班的介绍和讨论；演讲者，学生和与会者将提交手稿发表在核医学和生物学的特刊上。本次会议的目标受众是：在分子显像剂翻译方面经验丰富的科学家和医生，他们希望与同事分享他们的知识；研究生、博士后和住院医师目前正在进行论文或奖学金项目。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose a 2.5-day Workshop on Molecular Imaging Agents. Our primary specific aim is to further explore the applications of molecular imaging and molecular targeting to patient care. With the advent of individualized medicine, molecular imaging is key in stratifying the population so the right drug is given to the right patient. In the current era of targeted drugs, targeted imaging is key in validating the behavior of the drug and monitoring disease. A second specific aim of the workshop is training. With the rapid expansion of molecular imaging, there is a critical need for students trained in the various techniques. In the post genomic era, there are many more techniques and concepts that must be integrated into the training of students. This workshop should benefit those students who successfully compete for a student bursary to attend this meeting because it will cover basic concepts in a Sunrise Tutorial session and the students will have the opportunity to present their research before experts in the field of molecular imaging in an atmosphere that is conducive to detailed discussions. Our third specific aim is to disseminate the Workshop presentations and discussions; the speakers, students, and attendees will submit manuscripts for publication in a special issue of Nuclear Medicine and Biology. The target audience for this meeting is: scientists and physicians, experienced in the translation of molecular imaging agents, who wish to share their knowledge with colleagues; and graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and resident physicians who are currently engaged in their dissertation or fellowship projects.
