Funding is requested to cover the travel and lodging expenses of graduate students, fellows and junior faculty members to attend the 3nd International Workshop on Hyperpolarized Carbon-13 Technology and its Applications in Metabolic Imaging. This conference is a three-day workshop that is scheduled from December 8 to December 10 and will be held on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. This workshop is designed to bring together a great variety of knowledge, experience and prospective from a diverse group of investigators which will cover topics ranging from recent advances in hyperpolarized carbon-13 technology, novel imaging molecular and metabolic techniques, and clinical applications of new methods. The meeting consists of a series of invited talks from individuals who are considered to be the leaders in their projective fields. Much like what we had in our previous workshop on hyperpolarized carbon-13 and metabolic imaging, the focus will be on quantitative assessment of metabolism, clinical aspects of molecular processes of cancer and other pathophysiologies, and application of hyperpolarized carbon-13 for real-time assessment of molecular processes and metabolism, and standardization of new imaging techniques.
