Guanshu Liu, PhD
PI, Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science and Oncology
Dr. Guanshu Liu is a Professor in the Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and F.M. Kirby Center at Kennedy Krieger Institute. Dr. Liu is also a faculty member of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center and an affiliated member of the Institute for NanoBioTechnology (INBT). Dr. Liu received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 1998 and Ph.D. degree from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in 2008. Dr. Liu has been a faculty member in the Department of Radiology and the F. M. Kirby Research Center for Functional Brain Imaging at the Kennedy Krieger Institute since February 2008.
Dr. Liu has been actively working in the fields of molecular imaging, chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI contrast technology, and image-guided drug delivery and intervention. He has pioneered the development of various novel and translatable theranostic MRI technologies. These technologies integrate MRI contrast with a therapeutic agent for directly visualizing the delivery of therapeutics and monitoring treatment response. Dr. Liu has published more than 100 peer-reviewed research articles with an H index of 45 on Google Scholar. He also has 10 patents and provisional disclosures. He serves as a Senior Editor for the journal Molecular Imaging and Biology, Associate Editor for Cancer Imaging and Image-directed Interventions of Frontiers in Oncology, and editorial board member for the journal Biosensors. He received Johns Hopkins Discovery Award (2016), Marilyn Hilton MS Research Fund (2020), and the Distinguished Investigator (DI) Award, Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research (2022).

Yuguo Li, PhD
Research Associate
Dr. Yuguo Li has more than ten years of research experience in chemistry and biomedical imaging. He has received rigorous training on chemical synthesis, molecular assembly, nanoparticle characterization, in vivo small animal fluorescent imaging and MRI.
He is a chemist with plenty of experiences of designing, synthesizing and characterizing of novel MRI contrast agents and radiolabelled nuclear imaging probes for the purpose of molecular imaging. He has also participated in numerous research projects with 30 more papers published in peer-reviewed journals. He has also applied his research experience and skills to molecular imaging (especially MRI imaging) and has built up a solid foundation for interdisciplinary biomedical research in the field of molecular imaging using SPECT, PET and MRI.
