Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Anna Pees"
- Anna Pees' research primarily focuses on the development of novel positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers, particularly for imaging neurodegenerative diseases and conditions affecting the central nervous system, such as Parkinson's disease and parathyroid hyperplasia.
- Recent studies highlight the innovative use of pyridothiophene compounds and spirocyclic iodonium ylides to enhance the efficacy of PET imaging, addressing historical challenges in radiolabeling non-activated arenes and promoting brain penetrability of tracers.
- Pees has made significant contributions to refining carbon-11 and fluorine-18 radiochemistry methodologies, which are crucial for the synthesis of high-molar-activity PET compounds, thus advancing clinical applications and research in medical imaging.
