Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging Across Scales: From 3D Spheroids to Human

Please join us for the Virtual Pub on Friday, September 11, 2026, at 13:00 CEST. We are delighted to welcome Lisa Alborghetti, Università di Verona, IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele and Antonello Spinelli, IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele, for a talk on "Cerenkov Luminescence Imaging Across Scales: From 3D Spheroids to Human." 

Cerenkov luminescence imaging (CLI) has emerged as a novel optical modality in molecular imaging. CLI is based on the detection of Cerenkov radiation emitted when charged particles travel through biological tissues faster than the velocity of light in the tissue. This seminar explores the physics and different preclinical applications of CLI, from early small-animal results, up to the acquisition of human Cerenkography and ex vivo images. Finally, more recent developments on Cerenkov luminescence microscopy (CLM) for 3D tumour spheroids will be discussed.
