DESCRIPTION:Over the last 20 years\, my group has investigated novel nanopa
 rticle agents for Computed Tomography (CT)\, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR
 I) and Near Infra-red imaging (NIR). All these agents have shared key attri
 butes: they are stable assemblies of molecules with long-circulating proper
 ties\, minimal toxicity\, and predominantly hepatic clearance. This enables
  their use in blood pool imaging\, cardiovascular characterization\, and tu
 mor characterization. More recently\, we have demonstrated the avid passage
  of these particles into the cerebrospinal fluid enabling certain CNS imagi
 ng\, and their lack of placental penetration\, enabling maternal imaging wh
 ile sparing the fetus from exposure. Additionally\, the enormous signal enh
 ancements possible with a particle agent compared to a free molecule\, enab
 le molecular imaging in vivo using MRI\, without the need for nuclear reado
 uts such as PET or SPECT. In this presentation\, Ananth Annapragada\, PhD\,
  will describe the conception and development of these agents\, and their a
 pplication in diverse pathologies including pulmonary embolism\, atheroscle
 rosis\, various cancers\, Alzheimer’s disease and placenta accreta.
