About
Yingqing Lu is a pioneering radiochemist whose work is transforming the speed and efficiency of radiochemistry, particularly for positron emission tomography (PET) tracer development. Her key research areas include automated radiochemistry, microdroplet reaction technology, and the development of novel radiolabeling methods. Lu’s most notable contribution is the creation of an automated robotic platform capable of performing up to 64 droplet radiochemical reactions in a single morning—a breakthrough that dramatically accelerates the traditionally slow and labor-intensive process of radiochemistry. This work, published in 2023 and already garnering 11 citations, has the potential to revolutionize the discovery and production of new PET tracers for medical imaging. By enabling high-throughput screening of reaction conditions and reducing the need for manual handling of radioactive materials, Lu’s platform not only enhances safety but also opens the door to rapid iteration and optimization of radiolabeling strategies. Her achievements mark a significant step toward making radiochemistry more accessible and efficient, with profound implications for both research and clinical applications in nuclear medicine.
