It requires the use of a wide variety of specialty equipment\, like particle accelerators\, automated radiochemical synthesizers\, and imaging systems\, such as positron emission tomography (SPECT) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) that provide biochemical information-rich spatial images\, which are often paired with a second modality\, such as x-ray computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to provide accurate anatomical references. In this presentation\, Dr. Ellison will discuss recent efforts to develop novel theranostic small molecule radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging and radiopharmaceutical therapy of glioblastoma through targeting system xC–\, a cell surface antiporter that exchanges cystine and glutamate as a key part of the cellular antioxidant defense system. Using modern chemically versatile halodeborylation chemistries\, Dr. Ellison’s laboratory has prepared homologously matched radiopharmaceuticals that emit a variety of medically useful radiations\, including positrons (18F\, 77Br) and photons (131I) for imaging and Auger electrons (77Br) and beta particles (131I) for therapy. Comparative biology studies of this family of compounds utilize the gamut of preclinical imaging technologies\, including PET\, SPECT\, CT\, and MRI. \n\n\n\nPrint PDF URL:https://engineering.wisc.edu/event/bme-seminar-series-10/ LOCATION:1003 (Tong Auditorium) Engineering Centers Building\, 1550 Engineering Drive\, Madison\, WI\, 53706\, United States CATEGORIES:Biomedical Engineering,Seminar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://engineering.wisc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Seminar-Graphic-Fall2024-1.avif ORGANIZER;CN="Department of Biomedical Engineering":MAILTO:bmehelp@bme.wisc.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260427T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260427T140000 DTSTAMP:20260430T153649 CREATED:20260410T204022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260410T204025Z UID:10001517-1777293000-1777298400@engineering.wisc.edu SUMMARY:MS&E Ice Cream Social DESCRIPTION:Students\, staff and faculty in the Materials Science and Engineering department are invited to grab a scoop (or two\, or three…) of ice cream near room 265.

To learn more about Fred Kiekhaefer’s experience\, please join us for this installment of our ME 903: Graduate Student Lecture series. \n\n\n\nTitle: Every Career is a Journey \n\n\n\nAbstract: A brief recap of my career journey will illustrate that success may not be what you think it is. Only about 4% of the world’s people are lucky enough to be in America. Possibilities abound here. Engineering education is a great first step. But you’re not done. You’ve only earned the right to keep learning. When you’re a student for life\, success can occur when your preparation meets with opportunity. Difficulty and setbacks will occur; but redirect\, persevere and always seek opportunity. Take reasonable risk. Still\, there’s always a risk of failure. Focus on the positives; learn from the negatives. Self-doubt is common\, but you can drive through it; personal integrity is non-negotiable. Develop networks! Mentors! Surround yourself with people smarter than you. \n\n\n\nMost importantly\, know that wealth isn’t money: it’s health\, relationships\, integrity & serving a purpose greater than yourself. Find your passion. Enjoy the ride. Have fun! \n\n\n\nBio: Fred Kiekhaefer is an engineer\, entrepreneur\, and former senior executive with a career spanning advanced engineering\, manufacturing\, and marine business leadership. Kiekhaefer is known for his innovative work as the president of Mercury Racing for more than 2 decades. With Kiekhaefer at the helm\, Mercury Racing became the high-performance marine engine leader. \n\n\n\nKiekhaefer holds a BA in Physics from Ripon College\, an MS in Mechanical Engineering from UW–Madison\, and an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. Fred has led organizations ranging from startups to major divisions at leading companies. His career reflects a lifelong commitment to innovation\, continuous learning\, and leadership guided by purpose and integrity.
