Research Interest:
Dr. Stout's research interests are in developing the tools, procedures and techniques necessary to conduct molecular imaging research using optical, PET, CT and autoradiography systems. These include chambers for keeping the subjects warm, anesthetized, in a reproducible position and for imaging in multiple systems.
The design of preclinical imaging centers is another area of interest and expertise. Dr. Stout has designed the new imaging center in the California Nanosystems Institute and is currently working on the logistics of moving the imaging center that annually conducts over 14,000 experiments with miminal disruption to the 42 faculty members using the center.
Dr. Stout teaches molecular imaging courses to train new investigators in how to design, conduct and analyze data from these experiments. With a background in radiochemistry production of imaging probes, PhD research involving quantitative measurements using PET and over 18 years experience in the UCLA Molecular and Medical Pharmacology department, Dr. Stout enjoys helping investigators design their experiments, obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and figure out how to get the best possible experimental results.
