Eight abstracts accepted to the SNMMI 2016 meeting

Eight submissions from our lab and our collaborations were accepted (5 orals, 3 posters) to the annual meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), held in San Diego this year (June 11-15, 2016). This is always a fantastic meeting that brings together the best in the field, with very strong basic science and clinical tracks. The abstracts are as follows:
