معرفی
Jason Bini, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at Yale School of Medicine. He is affiliated with the Division of Bioimaging Sciences within the Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging, and is also a member of the Janeway Society and the PET Core at Yale. His research focuses on applying PET imaging techniques to investigate metabolic diseases and neuroendocrinology.
Dr. Bini earned his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from The City College of New York (CUNY) in 2015, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University in 2018. His educational background includes an MS in Biomedical Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology (2010) and a BS in Physics from Fordham University (2006).
His research interests span adipose tissue, brain imaging, diabetes (both type 1 and type 2), endocrinology, liver, neuroendocrinology, obesity, pancreas, and whole-body imaging. Dr. Bini's work primarily utilizes PET imaging to investigate mechanisms of disease and receptor/enzyme pharmacology in metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Current projects include imaging dopamine in the pancreas, studying the whole-body distribution of cortisol activating enzymes, and developing methods for whole-body kinetic modeling of novel PET radioligands.
His publication record shows a strong focus on PET imaging applications in metabolic and neurological disorders, particularly examining 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 enzyme activity across multiple organ systems. His work bridges basic science with clinical applications, particularly in diabetes, obesity, and neuroendocrine disorders.

Dr. Bini serves as Principal Investigator for clinical trials investigating cortisol metabolism in liver, adipose tissue and brain with novel PET radioligands, and imaging pancreatic beta-cells with PET neuroimaging agents. His collaborative network includes frequent co-authors such as Richard Carson, Nabeel Nabulsi, Mika Naganawa, and Jean-Dominique Gallezot. His research is supported by NIH funding through the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation.
Dr. Bini is actively involved in the Bioimaging Sciences program at Yale and contributes to advancing PET/MR imaging techniques for both clinical and preclinical applications.
