Career Sketch: Over the past five years, Dr. Nye's research efforts have focused on radioisotope production methodologies and the incorporation of positron emitting isotopes into pharmaceuticals for use in positron emission tomography (PET). The technologies developed in this work have greatly improved the availability of short and long-lived PET precursors that permit the monitoring of physiological processes on the order of minutes to days. His current research interests involve the development of new PET imaging tracers and the evaluation of their physiological behavior in vivo with quantitative kinetic modeling.
