Alexey Kostikov received his听M.Sc. degree in Chemistry from the Saint-Petersburg State University (Russia) in 2001 and completed his听PhD听in Chemistry at the University of Georgia (US) in 2007. After his听first postdoctoral appointment at Syracuse University (US), he听joined the Montreal Neurological Institute in 2009 as a Research Associate and later became an Assistant Professor of radiochemistry. His听current research projects are focused on the听development of novel positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracers for in vivo imaging of unexplored neurological biomarkers and听improving the efficiency of radiolabeling procedures. Kostikov uses a microPET camera for carrying out pre-clinical imaging and in 2017 was appointed director of the microPET unit. He听is听also heavily involved in day-to-day operations of the PET/cyclotron core facility that is offering an extensive library of PET radiotracers to听the neuroscience research听community at 成人VR视频 and across the province of Quebec.
