Imaging Agents

Research Pipeline: Molecular Imaging

Molecularly targeted imaging agents play important roles in early detection of disease, appropriate patient treatment stratification, and monitoring therapeutic efficacy. The Kelly laboratory has been involved in all aspects of imaging agent development from target identification, chemistry, animal studies, to clinical translation of our agents.
