The tumor microenvironment (TME) contains a heterogenous mixture of cells that can promote the progression of tumors. New discoveries in the types of cells that populate the TME have given ris e to molecular targets for therapeutic interventions. The application of im munoPET (positron emission tomography)\, a non-invasive diagnostic imaging modality\, has the potential to non-invasively image and quantify various c ell types within the TME. ImmunoPET combines the specificity and high affin ity of monoclonal antibodies bearing radionuclides with the high sensitivit y of PET. Dr Edwards will present his lab’s recent findings on imaging immu ne cells in the TME by immunoPET.
