cancer, atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases and has led to new approaches in the management of these diseases.

Dr. Weissleder is a co-founder of VisEn Medical, which has further developed and commercialized some of the leading fluorescence molecular imaging technologies originating out of Dr. Weissleder's lab at MGH, including "FMT" or fluorescent molecular tomography, as well as a portfolio of fluorescence in vivo imaging agents. The VisEn FMT 2500(TM) quantitative tomography system provides 3D quantification of disease biologies in vivo and is used by leading research institutions and pharma companies worldwide both in research and in drug development. In addition, VisEn develops and markets a broad range of fluorescent in vivo imaging agents enabling the quantification and measurement of key disease-associated biomarkers and therapeutic responses in vivo. These agents are used preclinically today, and along with the Fox Chase Cancer Center, VisEn's first "smart" fluorescence activatable agent is being planned for clinical trials in late 2009 to enable physicians to identify and characterize early stage disease in pancreatic and ovarian cancer patients.

Information on Dr. Weissleder and his work at the MGH can be found on: csb.mgh.harvard.edu and cmir.mgh.harvard.edu
