Sommerset Inn, Troy
Learning
Objectives:
The participant will be familiar with the current state of MR imaging in
experimental organisms and the area of contrast agents and probes being
developed for clinical settings.
Keynote Speaker:
Thomas Meade, PhD,
Eileen Foell Chair in
Cancer Research Departments of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Molecular and
Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Physiology, and Radiology Northwestern
University, Evanston, Illinois
Thomas Meade, Ph.D.,
Received his BS in Chemistry, masters in Biochemistry and PhD in
inorganic chemistry. After completing a NIH Postdoctoral fellowship at
Harvard Medical School he joined the laboratory of Professor Harry B.
Gray at the California Institute of Technology. In 1991 he joined the
Division of Biology and the Beckman Institute at Caltech. In 2002 he
moved to Northwestern University and is currently the Eileen Foell Chair
in Cancer Research and Professor of Chemistry, Biochemistry and
Molecular and Cell Biology, Neurobiology and Physiology, and Radiology.
Professor Meade's research focuses on bioinorganic coordination
chemistry and its application in research that include biological
molecular imaging, electron transfer processes and the development of
electronic biosensors for the detection of DNA and proteins. He has
received numerous awards and founded three private companies, Clinical
Micro Sensors, Metaprobe and Ohmx that are developing hand-held devices
for protein and DNA detection and bioactivated MR contrast agents for
clinical imaging of cancer.
