Title: Network analysis for systems biology using whole-body PET
Abstract: Network analysis is a well-established method in neuroimaging, used to assess how different regions of the brain interact. This can be done with positron emission tomography (PET), a method of molecular imaging which targets physiological phenomenon within the body, such as metabolism or drug uptake. Traditional PET scanners image only one part of the body at a time – which is why network analysis with PET has largely been applied exclusively in the brain. However, recent developments have led to whole-body scanning, opening the opportunity for systems biology research with PET. Systems biology is the study of complex interactions between different components of the body - something network analysis is particularly useful for. Here, we propose and examine three methods of network analysis with whole-body PET to evaluate the effort, efficacy, and potential applications for clinical and research use.

About Condensed Matter lunchtime seminars
This is a weekly series of informal talks given primarily by members of the institute of condensed matter and complex systems, but is also open to members of other groups and external visitors. The aim of the series is to promote discussion and learning of various topics at a level suitable to the broad background of the group. Everyone is welcome to attend..
