OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Development and Application of PET Imaging Probes for Dementia Research by Franklin Aigbirhio
To join this seminar online, please see https://sharepoint.nexus.ox.ac.uk/sites/NDCN/FMRIB/SitePages/WIN%20Wednesday%20Meeting%20Details.aspx
Molecular imaging using positron emission tomography (PET) has become a major biomedical imaging technology. Its application towards characterisation of biochemical processes in disease could enable early detection and diagnosis, development of novel therapies and treatment evaluation. The technology is underpinned by the use of chemical probes radiolabelled with short-lived positron-emitting radioisotopes which can be designed to be specific and selective for biological targets in vivo e.g., receptors, protein deposits, enzymes, and metabolism. My talk will focus on their development, the translational steps, and their application to clinical PET imaging research into neurodegenerative diseases to delineate and understand the various pathological components of these disorders.
