About
Chi-Jiun Peng is a radiochemist and molecular imaging scientist whose work centers on the development and application of novel radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET). His research focuses on the automated, robotic synthesis of fluorine-18 labeled compounds, a critical area for advancing clinical diagnostics and preclinical imaging. Peng’s most-cited paper, "The robotic radiosynthesis of 5-[18F]fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine and its biological characterization" (2009), demonstrates his expertise in creating efficient, reproducible methods for producing radiolabeled nucleoside analogs. This work, which has garnered 3 citations, highlights his contributions to streamlining radiochemistry protocols, enabling broader access to PET probes for studying cellular proliferation and disease. By integrating robotic systems into radiosynthesis, Peng has helped reduce human error and increase the reliability of tracer production—a key step toward translating novel imaging agents from bench to bedside. His achievements are particularly notable for advancing the practical application of fluorine-18 chemistry, with implications for oncology and neurology research. Peng’s dedication to method development and biological validation underscores his role in bridging chemistry and imaging, making him a valuable contributor to the field of molecular imaging.
