About
C. H. Chen is a leading radiochemist whose work has significantly advanced molecular imaging for gene expression. His research focuses on the development of novel radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET), particularly for imaging reporter gene expression in living subjects. Chen’s major contribution lies in the high-yield robotic synthesis of key PET probes, including [18F]FHBG and [18F]FHPG, which are critical for noninvasively monitoring gene therapy and cellular processes. His 2006 paper on this topic, with 14 citations, established a robust, automated method that improved reproducibility and reduced synthesis time, enabling broader clinical and preclinical applications. This work has been foundational for researchers studying cancer, stem cell therapy, and viral infections. Chen’s achievements demonstrate a commitment to bridging chemistry and biomedical imaging, providing tools that allow scientists to visualize biological events at the molecular level. His contributions continue to influence the field of radiochemistry and its translation into diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
