Research Focus
Dr. Guobao Wang's lab focuses on advancing medical imaging techniques to improve the assessment of blood flow and metabolism in various diseases. They aim to streamline PET imaging by developing methods that leverage a single tracer to simultaneously capture vital physiological information, which could greatly enhance clinical applications and patient care. By reducing the need for multiple radiotracers, their work simplifies the imaging process and opens new avenues for research and clinical diagnostics.
