Franklin Aigbirhio

Professor Franklin Aigbirhio’s research includes the development and application of molecular imaging probes, in particular for the in vivo imaging technique of positron emission tomography. Mr. Aighbirhio’s current research objectives are to design, develop and apply imaging probes that are specific and selective to biological markers and are sensitive to biochemical changes associated with disease mechanisms. In addition, Mr. Aigbirhio researches novel radiosynthesis methods with the objective of 1) developing rapid and efficient methods for the regular preparation of radiopharmaceuticals and 2) facilitating the discovery of new chemical entities for imaging.
