Molecular Medical Imaging

The Molecular Medical Imaging research group focuses its activity on deepening the molecular bases and developing new areas of research in molecular signaling pathways and the identification of new theranostic targets.

We promote the confluence of basic and clinical researchers, experts in imaging and molecular biology to provide:

Access to knowledge of the biokinetics and biodistribution of the molecules under study
The proofs of concept necessary in the research processes
The identification and quantification of the targets defined by the research groups of our center

In this context, the creation of a translational imaging unit constitutes a basic objective for the development of research aimed at the personalized treatment of patients.

The group is made up of medical specialists in molecular imaging, chemists and pharmacists specializing in tracer synthesis, and biomedical engineers and physicists specializing in image processing and tomography equipment. These are affiliated with different institutions, such as the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute (VHIR), the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (HUVH) and the Institute of Diagnostic Imaging (IDI).

Research lines

Focused Utrasound -FUSMED

The main objective of this line of research is to apply high intensity focused ultrasound in order to produce cavitation phenomena (histotripsy) producing mechanical destruction of tumor tissue without the need to introduce any needle and without using ionizing radiation.

This line of research, of a transversal nature, was created with the aim of performing our own research or in collaboration with research groups at the Valle de Hebron Campus that wish to introduce high-intensity focused ultrasound, both in the field of basic, translational and clinical research.

The immunological response generated by histotripsy means that we need to study its close relationship with immunotherapy and also study the beneficial effects on liquid biopsy. We also want to study the effects of focused ultrasound on the alteration of the blood-brain barrier and explore its applications in neurological pathology.?

I+D+i y marcajes de trazadores para Imagen Médica

Aquesta area es dedicarà a recerca pròpia i a col·laborar amb altres grups amb interessos comuns o companyies privades que puguin requerir la col·laboració de professionals i instal·lacions d’aquesta area. Principalment aquesta l’àrea de recerca es dedicarà a:

1. Trobar noves rutes de marcatge de molècules, biomolècules o sistemes nanomèdics,

2. Marcar molècules per obtenir nous traçadors o realitzar estudis de metabolització i/o biodistribució de fàrmacs o altre tipus de compostos,

3. Posar en marxa traçadors per utilitzar-los en diagnòstic o per realitzar probes de concepte, avaluar receptors o processos fisiològics, entre d’altres.

4. Posar en marxa nous radioinmuno-assaigs.

5. Disseny de procediments experimentals amb cèl·lules, animals o humans on es requereixin d’utilització de traçadors o altre tipus de compostos marcats.

6. A part de fer traçadors o marcatges amb isòtops radioactius, aquesta àrea tindrà la capacitat de fer altres tipus de marcatges amb:

7. Isòtops no radioactius per utilitzar-los en tècniques òmiques o amb altres finalitats,

8. Fluorocroms per utilitzar-los en tècniques inmunoquímiques o imatge òptica, àtoms que puguin ser utilitzats per fer estudis en les àrees d’ imatge per RMN o radiològiques (CT i RX).

Imatge mèdica

Aquesta area estarà dedicada a la captació, valoració i avaluació clínica i preclínica d’imatges mèdiques. Degut a que la imatge medica es una disciplina multimodal, aquesta area es separarà inicialment en dos subàrees com son la medicina nuclear i la radiologia.

Medicina nuclear

L’àrea s’adreça a la recerca pròpia generada els propis especialistes del servei de Medicina Nuclear però també a les especialitats amb interessos comuns i altres grups externs que puguin requerir la col·laboració de professionals i instal·lacions del nostre centre. Principalment aquesta l’àrea de recerca es dedicarà a:

1. Definició d’objectius d’investigació experimental, alineats amb la recerca clínica i orientats a desenvolupar projectes translacionals

2. Disseny d’estratègies per assolir informació biocinètica i dosimètrica de les dianes moleculars objecte de recerca

3. Selecció de radionúclids i programació de les imatges per obtenir la informació que respongui a les hipòtesis formulades pels investigadors

4. Obtenció d’imatges en diferents animals d’experimentació en els equipaments pertinents per cada model

5. Obtenció d’imatges segons els protocols específics en els assaigs clínics

6. Informe de les imatges seguint les especificacions dels assaigs clínics

7. Participació en estudis multicèntrics i xarxes de recerca internacional

Responsable àrea de medicina nuclear: Dr. Joan Castell

Principalment aquesta l’àrea de recerca es dedicarà a:

1. Definició d’objectius d’investigació experimental, alineats amb la recerca clínica i orientats a desenvolupar projectes translacionals.

2. Disseny d’estratègies per assolir informació anatòmica i funcional definides en els projectes de recerca

3. Selecció de les estratègies i modalitats d’imatge óptimes per obtenir la informació que respongui a les hipòtesis formulades pels investigadors
