معرفی
Franklin Aigbirhio is a Professor of Molecular Imaging Chemistry at the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge. His research focuses on positron emission tomography (PET) for molecular imaging in neurodegenerative diseases and endocrinology.
- Education: Not explicitly mentioned.
- Affiliations: Cambridge Mathematics of Information in Healthcare (CMIH), Department of Clinical Neurosciences, University of Cambridge.
Research interests span Molecular Imaging, Radiotracer Development, and applications in Neurodegenerative Diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, frontotemporal dementia) and Endocrinology (e.g., primary aldosteronism). His work integrates PET with in vitro and clinical studies to quantify synaptic loss, neuroinflammation, and protein aggregates.
Recent publications highlight trends in TSPO-PET tracers, synaptic density imaging, tauopathies, and adrenocortical diagnostics. Articles emphasize translational research from preclinical models to human trials, including studies on neuroinflammation in progressive supranuclear palsy and Down syndrome.
No scientific awards were explicitly mentioned. No students or grants were listed. Franklin leads projects at the CMIH Hub, Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, focusing on mathematical approaches to healthcare imaging data.
