Mr. Wang Cong | Molecular imaging | Best Researcher Award

Professor at Fudan University, China

Dr. Cong Wang’s research focuses on the development of molecular imaging techniques and imaging probes for diagnosing and treating brain diseases, specifically within the context of malignant brain tumors, epilepsy, and other central nervous system (CNS) disorders. His work addresses the critical limitations of conventional brain imaging methods, including sensitivity, specificity, and timeliness. He has made substantial contributions to the creation of multimodal imaging probes, brain drug delivery strategies, and the design of theranostic tools for real-time monitoring of brain drug delivery and therapeutic response. Dr. Wang’s team has pioneered efforts to enhance blood-brain barrier permeability, develop radiopharmaceuticals for brain disorders, and implement stimuli-responsive probes for guiding surgery in brain disease cases like epilepsy.
