International Symposium

[IS03] PSJ/CSPS Joint Symposium "Molecular and Preclinical imaging and the Pharmaceutical Sciences"

Tue. Mar 28, 2023 2:00 PM - 4:50 PM [Room G2] Conference Hall (1F)

Organizer: Tomoya Uehara, Noriko Daneshtalab, Michael Doschak, Yoshinobu Takakura

Molecular imaging technique is a technology that captures various biological phenomena occurring in vivo at the molecular level and visualizes them in a living organism. Such techniques include X-ray CT, MRI, fluorescence imaging, nuclear medicine imaging (PET, SPECT) and so on, and imaging is performed using one or more of these. Such molecular imaging techniques is a very useful tool not only for diagnosis pathological conditions and elucidate biological phenomena, but also for drug development. For example, if a drug is labeled by a radionuclide, nuclear medicine imaging can be used to evaluate the kinetics of the drug. The efficacy of drugs can be evaluated by morphological evaluation using X-ray CT or MRI, and functional evaluation using nuclear medicine imaging and fluorescence imaging. Furthermore, it is also possible to obtain various information related to PK/PD, such as optimization of drug dosage and administration route. In this symposium, four speakers introduce the new attractions and applications of molecular or preclinical imaging in the pharmaceutical sciences.

Opening remark: Tomoya Uehara (Grad. Sch. Pharm. Sci., Chiba Univ.) (2:00 PM - 2:05 PM)

Closing Remark: Noriko Daneshtalab (Memorial University of Newfoundland) (3:45 PM - 3:50 PM)

Break (3:50 PM - 4:00 PM)
