Focus on young Imaging Science by youngESMI Groups©

Immuno-Oncology & PET Imaging | 7 May 2025

The May-editions will be special ones featuring the finalists of the ESMI Award for Excellent PhD Thesis.

Date/Time:

7 May 2025, from 15.00h to 15.45h CEST

Talk Title:

89Zr-PET imaging for clinical insights into the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors

Speaker:

Laura Kist de Ruijter, Groningen

Dicussion Lead:

Manfred Kneiling, Tübingen

Organizer:

Dutch and Spanish young ESMI Group
Chairs: Wouter van der Heijden, Amsterdam & Mario González Arjona, Madrid

The speaker: Laura Kist de Ruijter

Laura obtained her PhD at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, at the department of Medical Oncology in the research group of Elisabeth de Vries. She is currently working as an MD/rheumatologist in training at the department of internal medicine at the Deventer Hospital. 

This webinar will highlight several PET studies from her PhD with 89Zr-antibody tracers, exploring factors related to the effects of immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with cancer, as well as their potential as a biomarker to predict treatment outcomes.

yESMInars

Each yESMInar is commonly organised by two young ESMI Groups. Each group gives the floor to an outstanding early career scientist (from the respective young ESMI country). The subsequent discussion is led by a renowned senior expert.

Enjoy an inspiring 60 minutes break with excellent science and lively discussions!
