Daniel Stuckey to Speak at Imaging Conference, Oct. 7-8, 2014, Dublin, Ireland
Daniel Stuckey, University College London, to Speak at Imaging in Drug Discovery Conference, Oct. 7-8, 2014 in Dublin, Ireland.
- (1888PressRelease) July 11, 2014 - Dr. Stuckey, who is currently the head of preclinical cardiovascular imaging, will speak on "In Vivo Assessment of Diffuse and Focal Cardia Fibrosis Using Pre-Clinical MRI."
Fibrosis is present in diverse cardiomyopathies and associated with poor prognosis. Dr. Stuckey and his group have developed MRI-based techniques which can quantify diffuse and focal fibrosis in a range of small animal models of heart disease. Dr. Stuckey will describe how these techniques are sensitive to pharmacological therapies, making them a useful non-invasive biomarker for detecting fibrosis in vivo, following its progression over time, and assessing experimental therapies targeted at reducing fibrosis in the heart.
