Dr. Bernau has a long-standing interest in developing molecular imaging probes that can characterize biological events in vivo. Her work is dedicated to developing novel imaging probes for non-invasive assessment of lung disease activity, including in pulmonary fibrosis. She is leading the development of a novel peptide-based, clinically translatable positron emission tomography (PET) probe for identification of active lung fibrosis that would enable physicians to determine disease activity in real time and tailor therapeutic course toward the individual patients’ disease progression.
