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).

The meeting was an opportunity to get to know projects from both institutions and to promote interaction between professionals.

The device, called Winco USG, is a simulation platform for holistic and integrated training of professionals performing this type of procedure.

Using computed tomography (CT), with or without contrast, it is possible to perform an accurate and safe detection of the disease without the need for biopsies and avoiding the limitations of other non-invasive diagnostic tools.
