O xoves 12 de xuño de 2025, o Dr. Pablo Aguiar Fernández (CIMUS, USC) ofrecerá o seminario “Translational PET imaging and theragnosis" dentro do ciclo CINBIO Seminar Programme.
Será ás 11:00 horas na Sala de seminarios de Torre CACTI.
ABSTRACT:
This session focuses on bridging the gap between preclinical and clinical research to advance precision medicine through targeted diagnosis and personalized therapies. In particular, we will explore different disruptive technologies in the field of Positron Emission Tomography (PET), with a strong emphasis on theranostic agents, which are revolutionizing modern medicine by enabling highly specific, non-invasive diagnosis and personalized treatments in a single platform. This will be exemplified with our ongoing projects focused on theragnosis in neurology and inflammatory diseases, as well as radiotheragnostic approaches in oncology.
BIO:
Dr. Pablo Aguiar, PhD in Physics (Universitat de Barcelona), is a biomedical researcher working in PET imaging and theragnosis, Principal Investigator at CIMUS (University of Santiago de Compostela, USC), and Head of the Preclinical Imaging Facility at IDIS. With over 20 years of experience, his work bridges the gap between preclinical and clinical research, focusing on the development and clinical translation of advanced PET biomarkers, early diagnosis and image-guided therapies.
He has authored more than 100 scientific publications (85% in Q1-ranked journals), holds 4 patents, and has supervised 12 doctoral theses and he currently coordinates several national and international research consortia. Dr. Aguiar is also the founder of the spin-off company Qubiotech Health Intelligence, whose technology has been implemented in over 40 hospitals, contributing to more accurate diagnosis and patient management in more than 20,000 cases in recent years.
Since 2021, he has been a recognized member of the Neuroimaging Committee of the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), leading organization for Nuclear Medicine in Europe, and Chair of European Society for Molecular Imaging (ESMI), the reference association for european imaging scientists. In recognition of his contributions to biomedical physics, he was awarded the prestigious Rotblat Medal by the Institute of Physics (IOP), the leading scientific society for physics in the UK.
