DR. CHRISTOPHER C. ROWE, M.D.
Professor Rowe research focuses on imaging of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly AD, for better understanding, earlier more accurate detection, and to facilitate development of early therapeutic interventions. His publications had over 1000 citations in 2012. He has published extensively on SPECT in epilepsy and beta-amyloid imaging in Alzheimer's disease. 

Professor Christopher C. Rowe MD is one of the leading researchers in the field of molecular neuroimaging and Alzheimer's disease. 
Prof. Rowe is the director of the Department of Nuclear Medicine and Centre for PET and a consultant neurologist to the Memory Disorders Clinic at the Austin Hospital, Melbourne. Professor Rowe is the imaging director for the Australian Imaging, Biomarkers and Lifestyle Study of Aging (AIBL) and has performed over 800 brain amyloid scans with C-11 and F-18 labeled PET tracers. He has produced over 60 publications in the last five years on PET imaging of neurodegenerative disorders. He is a past President of the SNM Brain Imaging Council and received the 2011 SNM Kuhl-Lassen Award for Outstanding Contribution to Brain Imaging. He is the neuroimaging leader of several large studies of aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) including AIBL and the Cooperative Research Centre for Mental Health.
