Abstract

Mission

The goal of KeyMarker is to identify molecules that can be used as radiotracers for positron emission tomography (PET) or single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging and potential quantification of the pancreatic beta-cell mass. Such molecules may lead to novel approaches for diabetic disease management, such as patient stratification, disease follow-up, and therapeutic options. Several ligands for the target will be screened and evaluated through the preclinical models developed for the project. The in vitro/in vivo preclinical platform as well as the toxicology, bio-distribution, and labeling expertise dedicated to the project form the basis for a standard process for further diabetes imaging tracer evaluation.

Financing

This was a three-year project with a total budget of €2.7 million.
