About
Dr. Geng-Ying Li is a pioneering radiochemist and molecular imaging scientist whose work centers on the development of novel positron emission tomography (PET) tracers for neuroinflammation. Her primary research focus lies in designing and synthesizing radioligands that can non-invasively image inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), a key biomarker of microglial activation in the brain. Dr. Li’s most notable contribution is the automated synthesis and initial evaluation of a novel spiroquinazolinone-based radiotracer for PET/MR imaging of iNOS, a breakthrough that addresses a critical gap in neuroimaging. This work, published in 2021, has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting its early impact on the field. By enabling real-time visualization of neuroinflammatory processes, her research holds profound implications for understanding and diagnosing conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury. Dr. Li’s strategic, stepwise approach to tracer development—from rational design to automated radiosynthesis and preclinical validation—exemplifies the rigorous translational pipeline required for clinical PET imaging. Her contributions are paving the way for more precise, molecular-level assessments of brain inflammation, offering new hope for earlier diagnosis and targeted therapy monitoring in neurological disorders.
