My laboratory is focused on the development of novel molecular imaging strategies and their application to improving cancer therapy. Current projects include the development of new platforms for positron emission tomography (PET imaging) and radioimmunotherapy. Additionally, we are interested in the development of new treatment strategies that combine synergistic immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and radiological therapies to overcome difficult to treat cancers such as pancreatic cancer.
