Taking novel imaging probes from discovery in a lab setting, through full development and on to manufacturing and clinical trials is one of the goals of the MITNEC program and the Centre for Probe Development and Commercialization. Dr. Valliant, the leader of the CPDC and a collaborator in MITNEC outlines each stage in this process, describing all of the steps involved. In particular, new probes in development for imaging neurologic disease are discussed.
