Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ruma Hoque"
Ruma Hoque's research focuses on the development of efficient methods for synthesizing radiolabeled amino acids, particularly carbon-11 labeled compounds, to enhance PET imaging techniques for biological and biochemical studies.
Her work includes the synthesis of enantiomerically pure amino acids via innovative chemical reactions, addressing the challenges posed by the short half-life of the radioactive isotope carbon-11.
Additionally, she has explored the direct measurement of carbon-11 cyanide's specific activity through the use of ion-selective electrodes, contributing to the understanding of carbon-11 production processes and improving techniques for radiochemical analysis.
