About
Martine Dhilly is a medicinal chemist and radiopharmacologist whose research focuses on the development of novel radioligands for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, particularly targeting neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system. Her most cited work, "Synthesis and biological investigations of [18F]MR18445, a 5-HT3 receptor partial agonist" (1998, 19 citations), exemplifies her contributions to the design and evaluation of fluorine-18 labeled tracers for studying serotonin receptor systems. This study advanced the understanding of 5-HT3 receptor pharmacology by providing a new tool for in vivo imaging, with implications for psychiatric and gastrointestinal disorders. While her citation counts reflect a specialized niche, Dhilly’s work is foundational for researchers exploring serotonergic pathways and PET tracer development. Her achievements include pioneering synthetic strategies for radiolabeling and rigorous biological validation, bridging chemistry and neuroscience. For students and researchers in radiochemistry or neuroimaging, Dhilly’s research offers a model of how targeted molecular design can enable non-invasive exploration of receptor function, highlighting the critical role of small-molecule probes in translational neuroscience.
