Bio
Ramsey Badawi is interested in developing new methods and instruments for PET imaging in humans, and innovation in radiological imaging applications for improving human health. The Badawi Lab is currently developing a high-performance pre-clinical PET/MRI scanner and a re-usable toolkit for building application-specific PET scanners. His flagship project, in collaboration with Distinguished Professor Simon Cherry, is the development and application of the world’s first total-body PET scanner, EXPLORER. Dr. Badawi is using the EXPLORER scanner to improve current clinical practice and shed light on biological problems that could not previously be answered, such as how the organs of the body interact together to create a system.
