Research activity per year
Jinbin Xu is extensively experienced in biomedical imaging science, focusing on the development and characterization of probes for receptor and enzyme-based central nervous system (CNS) and oncology imaging using in vivo Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and in vitro quantitative autoradiography. Dr. Xu is an expert in postmortem rodent/nonhuman primate/human brain quantitative autoradiography and high throughput receptor-ligand binding assays. In addition, Dr. Xu developed a novel autoradiography procedure for measuring dopamine D2 and D3 receptor density ratios. This method has been effectively used with animal models of neurological disease and for human postmortem brain autoradiography. He also played a crucial role in validating the sigma-2 receptor as an imaging biomarker for cell proliferation and developing sigma-2 receptor antagonists against amyloid-beta oligomer toxicity in human neurons as a therapeutic agent in Alzheimer disease.
Jinbin Xu is currently leading a diverse team and conducting various innovative researches via modern technologies such as quantitative imaging, biochemistry, genetics, radiomics, and proteomics. In addition, Dr. Xu is interested in mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral researchers on research proects within the scope of the following programs.
