Eleven Abstracts Accepted to the SNMMI 2015 Meeting

Eleven submissions from our lab and our collaborations were accepted to the annual meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging (SNMMI), held in Baltimore this year (June 6-10, 2015). We look forward to this always-great meeting, and to interacting with our various basic science and clinical colleagues. The abstracts are as follows (the first 5 were accepted as oral presentations, and the other six as posters):
