Quantum Life Science and Molecular Imaging Education Course

Molecular imaging

Molecular imaging is a technique to observe and visualize biological functional information, such as gene expression and protein synthesis, in living organisms from outside without invasive procedures (non-invasively or minimally-invasively).
In "Molecular imaging lectures", students will learn mainly about positron emission tomography (PET), optical imaging, etc.
Students will learn about molecular imaging from various perspectives of modern medicine such as radiology, nuclear medicine, pharmacology, neuroscience, and oncology as well as surrounding fields such as pharmaceutical science, chemistry, physics, medical engineering, and engineering.
In "Molecular imaging training", students will learn basic skills of molecular imaging through institutional visits and hands-on seminars.
In this class, students can learn from researchers of National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST).

Molecular imaging theranostics

Molecular imaging is a technique for observing the behavior of various molecules such as genes and proteins in a living body. This is a new boundary/complex area of medicine, pharmaceutical science, and engineering. It is known that alpha emitters and beta emitters have a strong therapeutic effect on cancer cells. "Molecular imaging theranostics" is a combination of diagnosis and treatment.
That is, after confirming that drugs labeled with a γ-ray emitting radionuclide accumulate in the target tumor, the therapeutic drugs relabeled with an α-ray emitting or a β-ray emitting radionuclide are administrated for cancer treatment.
In "Molecular imaging theranostics lectures", students will learn about the principle and clinical application of theranostics using radioisotope.
In this class, students can learn from researchers of National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology (QST).

Quantum biology

Quantum biology (quantum bioimaging) is a new academic field that aims at fundamental elucidation of "life process" based on a new paradigm of modern physics including "quantum mechanics", instead of simply based on the conventional paradigm that whole life process is based on molecular interactions. Examples of quantum biology and bioimaging techniques are as follows:

quantum sensing technology (quantum nanosensors such as diamond NV center)
structural biology techniques (hyperpolarized MRI and synchrotron radiation science)
quantum imaging techniques such as high resolution photon tomography using quantum entanglement

In "Quantum biology lectures", students can learn about the basic points of Quantum biology (/quantum bioimaging) as well as the basic points of biological research using Next-generation Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Aobayama campus.
In "Quantum bioimaging training", students can learn about the basic points of Quantum biology (/quantum bioimaging) from more practical view points.
