Bogdan Mitran

Bogdan Mitran is a biomedical engineering researcher at the Department of Medicinal Chemistry; Translational PET Imaging, Uppsala University. His work focuses on molecular imaging using PET/SPECT technologies, particularly for oncological applications including prostate cancer, gliomas, and immune cell dynamics.

• Current affiliation: Uppsala University
• Department: Medicinal Chemistry; Translational PET Imaging
• Expertise: Radiolabeled compound development, preclinical evaluation

Research interests center on radiopharmaceutical chemistry, affibody molecule engineering, and chelator optimization to enhance imaging contrast and biodistribution. His recent publications demonstrate innovations in:

• Non-invasive liver fibrogenesis imaging using RESCA-conjugated affibodies
• CD69-positive immune cell detection in inflammatory arthritis
• Dual-targeting PSMA/GRPR heterodimers for prostate cancer theranostics
• Charge-modified metal-chelator complexes for improved tumor targeting

Collaborations span preclinical models, radiochemistry, and multimodal imaging strategies, with active publications in Contrast Media & Molecular Imaging, Scientific Reports, and European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging.
