About
Dae Yoon is a medicinal chemist and molecular imaging scientist whose research focuses on developing novel positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers to visualize neuroinflammation and other disease processes. His key contributions center on the design and automated radiosynthesis of fluorine-18 labeled probes targeting inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), a critical biomarker of microglial activation in the brain. In his most cited work (2021, 6 citations), Yoon and colleagues reported the first automated synthesis and initial evaluation of a spiroquinazolinone-based radioligand for PET/MR imaging of iNOS, demonstrating a strategic approach to creating non-invasive tools for studying neuroinflammatory conditions. While early in his career, this work represents a significant methodological advance in the field of neuroinflammation imaging, combining automated radiochemistry with targeted molecular design. Yoon’s research bridges organic synthesis and translational imaging, aiming to provide new biomarkers for neurological disorders. His contributions are particularly relevant for researchers interested in the intersection of radiochemistry, neuroinflammation, and the development of imaging agents for precision medicine.
