Investigators

Summary

I am an assistant professor of radiology and the co-director of the preclinical in vivo imaging facility (IVIF) at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. I have expertise in molecular imaging (PET, SPECT, optical), organic synthesis, peptide synthesis, conjugation and radiochemistry, targeted radiotherapy (α and β), and animal model of cancer. My research focus is on the development of novel radiopharmaceuticals for molecular imaging and targeted radiotherapy therapy. As the co-director of the IVIF I help investigators incorporate pre-clinical imaging to enhance their research through the IVIF as well as develop novel targeted. In addition, the IVIF provides laboratory support for clinical trials investigating radiopharmaceuticals at UPMC.
