Dr. Baowei Fei received a Pilot grant from the NIH-funded Emory Molecular and Translational Imaging Center

We envision that molecular imaging can detect cancer at the cellular level, can monitor drug distribution in vivo, can guide therapy to the target, and can evaluate efficacy immediately after therapy. Dr. Fei and his team will develop and evaluate multimodality imaging methods (fluorescence imaging, PET and MR imaging) for early detection of therapeutic response in pre-clinical cancer models.

Dr. Baowei Fei was selected as a Georgia Cancer Coalition Distinguished Cancer Scholar

/in

The Georgia Cancer Coalition established the Distinguished Cancer Clinicians and Scientists program as the cornerstone of its research agenda. The goal of the program is to recruit to Georgia leading and nationally renowned cancer clinicians and scientists who are engaged in the most promising areas of cancer research. The selection of the scholars is closely aligned with the National Cancer Institute’s “Extraordinary Opportunities in Cancer Research,” which has identified areas of discovery that hold promise for making significant progress against all cancers. This competitive and prestigious award carries with it a five-year grant payable to Emory University to support Dr. Fei’s research on cancer imaging. – June 15, 2009
