Jun Li, B.S, M.S.

Jun came from a small city in the middle area of China. Before coming to the Vanderbilt University and joining Dr. Manning's lab, his master's research mainly focused on the development of processing methods for PSCs. In the Manning Lab, his research has focused on the synthesis of a translocator protein (TSPO) targeted probe for optical imaging. Binding assays, SAR, in vivo metabolite and other methods are applied in this study.  We are aiming at developing a probe with high binding affinity for use in human cancer imaging as a  simple, fast and inexpensive screening method. In his free time, Jun likes traveling.
