About
Skye Hsin-Hsien Yeh is a leading researcher in molecular imaging and radiochemistry, with a primary focus on developing novel positron emission tomography (PET) tracers for neuroinflammation. Her most cited work centers on the automated synthesis and evaluation of a spiroquinazolinone-based radiotracer targeting inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), a key biomarker of microglial activation in the brain. This groundbreaking study, published in 2021, demonstrated the first successful PET/MR imaging of iNOS, offering a non-invasive method to visualize neuroinflammatory processes. With 6 citations in a short time, this work has already garnered attention for its potential to transform the diagnosis and monitoring of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. Yeh's strategic approach to radiotracer design—optimizing fluorine-18 labeling for clinical translation—showcases her expertise in bridging chemistry and neuroscience. Her contributions are paving the way for precision medicine in neuroinflammation, making her a rising figure in the field.
