Research Interests:
My laboratory is focused on development and application of molecular imaging techniques towards understanding radiation and cancer biology and improving treatment of human disease. Using modalities including positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), fluorescence imaging, bioluminescence imaging, and small animal conformal radiotherapy, we are investigating the molecular and physiologic factors that determine tumor response to therapy. In addition, we are applying this knowledge towards the development of combination therapies that improve tumor response and minimize normal tissue toxicity. We are a multi-disciplinary group with expertise in engineering, biology, chemistry, medicine, and computer science.
