Dr. Rex Moats
Topic: Small animal imaging in disease models
Affiliation: *Director of the Small Animal Imaging Resource Center in the Saban Research Institute at Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles
*appointments in the Departments of Radiology and Pathology in the Keck School of Medicine at University of Southern California(USC).Research Interest: Bone metastases, iron overload, and cancer models, and In Vivo Imaging
Email: rmoats@chla.usc.eduSummary of Current ResearchDr. Moats is the director of the In Vivo Small Animal Imaging Center. His area of research interest covers animal based models of disease including genetic diseases, iron overload, and various cancer models and includes the development of molecular imaging agents targeted to investigate specific biochemistry and physiology processes in these models. Special emphasis is placed on the imaging based studies with basic animal model development being done largely but not exclusively in the labs of collaborators.
