About me

Pierre Cheung obtained his B.Sc and M.Sc from UCLouvain in Belgium before moving to Sweden where he obtained his PhD degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences in 2023 from Uppsala University under the supervision of Professor Olof Eriksson. His PhD work focused on the development and evaluation of novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracer for the non-invasive imaging assessment of pancreatic beta-cell mass in diabetes. Pierre Cheung joined Beinat lab in 2023 as a Postdoctoral fellow funded by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet) in collaboration with Professor Thuy Tran from Karolinska Institute, Sweden. His current research is focused on the research and evaluation of novel imaging probes for improving our understanding and diagnosis of cancer.
