About
Dr. Kuo-Shyan Lin is a leading radiochemist whose work centers on developing novel radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, with a particular focus on prostate cancer. His major contributions lie in pioneering innovative, rapid, and efficient methods for fluorine-18 labeling, a critical step for creating clinically useful imaging agents. One of his most impactful achievements is the development of a one-step, high-yielding technique for 18F-labeling via isotope exchange on aryltrifluoroborate bioconjugates. This method, detailed in his highly cited 2012 paper (42 citations), overcomes a long-standing challenge by enabling radiolabeling in aqueous conditions at mild pH and temperature, producing tracers at very high specific activity. This breakthrough has significantly streamlined the production of PET tracers, making them more accessible for clinical use. Dr. Lin’s work is foundational to the advancement of molecular imaging, directly impacting the diagnosis and management of cancer.
