About
Min Lin is a radiochemist whose research focuses on the development and automated synthesis of fluorine-18 labeled radiopharmaceuticals for nuclear medicine imaging applications. Working at the intersection of radiochemistry and molecular imaging, Lin has made meaningful contributions to the field of positron emission tomography (PET) tracer development, with a particular emphasis on gene expression imaging and oncological applications. Lin's most notable work centers on the robotic radiosynthesis of specialized imaging agents, including the landmark 2006 study detailing a high-yield automated synthesis of [18F]FHBG and [18F]FHPG — radiolabeled guanine derivatives used to visualize gene expression in vivo. This work, which has garnered 14 citations, represents an important technical advance in making these complex tracers more reliably and efficiently produced for research and clinical use. Lin's subsequent 2009 work extended this expertise to the synthesis and biological characterization of 5-[18F]fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine, a thymidine analog with potential applications in tumor imaging. Together, these contributions highlight Lin's role in bridging synthetic radiochemistry with practical imaging tool development, helping to expand the toolkit available to researchers exploring non-invasive molecular imaging strategies.
