“What I find most meaningful about my work as a researcher is fulfilling my search for knowledge and curiousity,” said Celine Taglang, PhD, a researcher in the Cancer Metabolic Imaging and Therapy Lab in UCSF’s Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging.
In her research, Taglang develops advanced MRI techniques to detect and evaluate brain cancer, offering new hope for early diagnosis and targeted therapies.
“I use advanced imaging techniques to detect unusual biochemical reactions in brain models as markers of cancer,” said Taglang. “At a molecular level, in a non-invasive way, I can identify new targets and evaluate drug candidates.”
She’s been passionate about science since childhood.
“In middle school, chemistry class was my favorite. I was fascinated when Ms. Laurent talked about Greek philosophers and atoms,” said Taglang.
In college, she…
