Current Members

img

Tobi A. Gafar

PhD graduate student

Major: Chemistry

Research Area: SEOP (129Xe and 131Xe); ODESR; NMR; Pulse sequence development



img

Drew Brittin

Undergraduate Student

Major: Physiology

Research Area: parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP) of MRI contrast agents



img

Ishani Senanayake

Graduate Student

Major: Chemistry

Research Area: Synthesizing imaging agents and hypoxia sensing molecules mainly for tumor imaging, which can be hyperpolarized via SABRE (Signal Amplification by Reversible Exchange). The long T1 times, stability and the ability of the molecule to bind to the SABRE catalyst are the key factors of interest.
