Biomedical engineering chair to deliver opening plenary lecture at European Society for Molecular Imaging 10th annual meeting in Germany

Juri G. Gelovani, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Wayne State University Department of Biomedical Engineering, will deliver the opening plenary lecture at the 10th annual meeting of the European Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI) to be held in Tübingen, Germany from March 18 to 20. ESMI promotes the development and application of imaging science. Its annual international meeting is expected to bring together more than 600 participants from diverse areas of research and practice.

Dr. Gelovani's lecture is entitled "From Molecular-Genetic to epigenetic Molecular Imaging and Beyond." The lecture provides an overview of research conducted by him and his colleagues in this field over the past 20 years. Dr. Gelovani is a founder of both molecular-genetic and epigenetic imaging fields of research and is a world-renown leader in molecular imaging.

"The ESMI meeting provides an excellent interdisciplinary platform for exchange of knowledge in the field of Imaging Science and Technology spanning from basic sciences to clinical translational research and clinical practice. Therefore, I am honored to represent Wane State University with my opening plenary lecture, in which I will summarize two decades of research as well as the latest innovations in imaging" said Dr. Gelovani.
