Chemistry, Probes & Molecular Therapy (CPMT)

The Chemistry, Probes and Molecular Therapy (CPMT) research group in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF focuses on the development of new molecular imaging tools. This research group will complement our existing research and infrastructure groups to bring targeted therapies to the clinic, for both for the diagnosis and therapy of human disease.

About Chemistry, Probes & Molecular Therapy (CPMT)

CPMT conference schedule

Meetings related to the activities of the Chemistry, Probes and Molecular Therapy (CPMT) group will be held on Tuesday afternoons, at China Basin Landing in room 342, unless otherwise noted. The goal is 4-5PM with the exception of longer faculty meetings. These include:

  1. CPMT faculty meetings. These are held quarterly and include AIT SRG faculty members.
  2. Clinical research in progress (CRIP). These are designed for clinical researchers to discuss projects.
  3. Nuclear imaging research. Postdoctoral fellows in the Wilson, VanBrocklin, Flavell, and Evans labs will be presenting biweekly. Researchers at all levels from Mission Bay groups are invited to join.
  4. Visiting speakers. Invited speakers will present on Tuesday afternoons. We welcome suggestions from all CPMT members.

Sienna Huang will be our contact administrator for the CPMT and related research meetings.
