# The sixth international workshop on metabolic imaging

> **NIH NIH R13** · UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA · 2020 · $10,000

## Abstract

Summary
This application requests funds to defray travel and housing costs for
students, postdocs and junior researchers attending the Sixth Annual
Workshop on Metabolic Imaging. The conference will take place at the
University of Pennsylvania from October 22-24, 2020. Because of its
unique ability to interrogate their underlying cellular and molecular
processes, metabolic imaging has the potential to help improve the
diagnosis, management and treatment of numerous diseases, including
many cancers. However, the fundamentally interdisciplinary nature of the
field can be an obstacle to researchers' ability to share their findings
efficiently and effectively.
In 2006, our first metabolic imaging workshop aimed to address this
problem directly by bringing together leading experts in the field from
various departments and disciplines. Feedback from subsequent iterations
of this meeting, which have consistently attempted to expand its
interdisciplinary scope, have been uniformly positive. Prominent
researchers in the fields of hyperpolarized MRI, PET, optical imaging and
others will give invited talks on a diverse array of topics ranging from recent
advances in hyperpolarization techniques and/or imaging technology to the
clinical translation of now established techniques. We will also have 20-25
shorter presentations from students and postdoctoral researches, a poster
session, and several panel discussions with question-and-answer sessions
built-in. Full workshop proceedings will be webcast live and available
internationally, and this video will be archived online for a period of 6
months after the meeting. Finally, we intend to publish highlights of this
workshop in a special issue of NMR in Biomedicine.
