Excited to share this project from my time as PhD candidate at @BioInorgChem_UW in Metallomics about organometallic inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 3CLᵖʳᵒ main protease. A big thank you to my students and former PI. doi.org/10.1093/mtomcs… #SARSCoV2 #metalsinmedicine

Our work developing a new class of organic radical contrast agents (ORCA) for MRI is online Nature Communications. The work was lead by Nicholas Calvert and develops verdazyl radicals for mapping kidney function. nature.com/articles/s4146…

An injectable dye can be used to map kidney function by magnetic resonance imaging, offering a safer alternative than existing dyes for the spatial evaluation of kidney health @molmedlabuo @nd_calvert uOttawa Science uOttawa Chem & Biomolec Sci // Chimie & Sci Biomol nature.com/articles/s4146…

I’m so pleased to introduce the 2023 WMIS WMIC Young Investigator Award winner, Nicholas Calvert for his work developing radical contrast agents for MRI urography. Congratulations Nick!

A few impressions from session 2 of #isbomc2023 with great talks by Dominic Graf Annie Castonguay research , Sam Meier-Menches, Maria Gil-Moles and Anaïs Pitto-Barry ! (not all of them on the pics) #bioorganometallics

Thank you Ott Group and co for this nice program and the opportunity to speak about my work amongst such inspiring scientists!! #ISBOMC2023

Ever wondered if fructolysis was involved in your cardio- or neuroinflammatory phenotype? Spent dark, sullen days lamenting the inability to trace fructolysis with PET? Here comes the sunshine: [18F]-4-deoxy-fluorofructose! Online today JNM jnm.snmjournals.org/content/early/…

Sweet breakthrough! Scientists at Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa develop [18F]4-FDF radiotracer, shedding light on cell metabolism using fructose in PET scans. 🍬🔬 #Science #MedicalResearch uOttawa Science @molmedlabuo 👉bit.ly/4bH1iZU

Researchers from Molecular Medicine Lab have developed a radiotracer targeting fructose metabolism, offering clearer insights into neuro- and cardio-inflammatory responses. hubs.ly/Q02mnK4p0

A new PET radiotracer can differentiate diseased tissues from healthy tissues based on fructose metabolism, according to new research published in the March issue of JNM. ow.ly/Ky4650QOTZp #NuclearMedicine #Metabolism #MedicalImaging

🗞️ #NSERC RESEARCH STORY Scientists Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa have developed a new radiotracer that can map how cells use fructose for energy, allowing for earlier detection of a wide range of diseases, like cancers, inflammation of the heart &brain. ▶️ tinyurl.com/3czktbne #NSERCsupport

Today is the Brian Heart Interactome State of the Science Summit and Dominic Graf is representing our project translating [18F]4deoxyfluorofruftose to humans. #benchtobed #BHI

Thank you all at WMIS WMIC for listening to me talking about the cool radiochem we do in the Molecular Medicine Lab and find me at the Gala later tonight, so I can tell you about all the other things I've been up to lately!

For group meeting this morning, Dominic Graf is giving us all a refresher on lab safety procedures. Sage advice from a talented chemist.

It's a wrap! 3 conference talks, first lecture in OC II, first peer review, first radiochem paper and more to come in 2025! Especially now that Claudia Kellner is part of the team. I’m grateful for the amazing opportunities Molecular Medicine Lab and support! Alison Flynn WMIS WMIC

The Molecular Imaging session during CSC was truly awesome, many thanks to Ben and Adam!
