Biography
Dr. Lee’s research group investigates molecular imaging and clinical positron emission tomography (PET). The main tools are small-animal imaging system (SPECT-CT) and the state-of-the-art clinical PET-CT system. The assessment of the delivery of the newest drugs to the specific targets in small animals is the major focus of the group. The candidate new drugs are small-interfering RNA, micro-RNA, radiopharmaceuticals, and others. The correlation of the histopathologic findings of the patients’ samples and the PET findings is another main research focus. The expressions of glucose transporters and hexokinase in the tumor tissues are examined using immunohistochemistry.
