Research Interests

For my research, my group focuses on the development of targeted radiotherapy (alpha and beta) for primary and metastatic hepatic tumors, metastatic melanoma, and a variety of cancers through the targeting of the neovascular. My lab is working toward the development of novel targeted radiotherapeutics and their application in a variety of cancers as well as the development of image guided strategies to maximize the therapeutic efficacy while minimizing toxicity to normal tissue.

Technique Expertise or Resources to share

I have expertise in molecular imaging, organic synthesis, peptide synthesis, targeted radiotherapy and cancer research including small (mice) and large (rabbits, beagles) animal models.  We implement a variety of imaging techniques including PET and SPECT imaging, fluoroscopy, CT, and alpha camera imaging within my lab.
