Bio/Research
The research in my lab is primarily directed at fighting cancer with radioactive pharmaceuticals and the development of diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals to be used in different Nuclear Medicine procedures. We also enjoy exploiting nanotechnology and microtechnology for different drug delivery applications, including the development of painless microneedles and the use of microfluidics for the preparation of monosized microspheres. Under the guidance of Dr. Kathy Saatchi, our lab has a strong chemistry base that encompasses organic, coordination and polymer chemistry. Our research includes the entire spectrum of drug research from the synthesis and (radio- and other) labelling of new molecules; the preparation of drug delivery carriers such as microspheres, antibodies, and polymers; their careful evaluation both in vitro and in vivo, and finally their efficacy testing in different in vivo models accompanied by imaging with many different imaging modalities (SPECT, PET, CT, MRI, optical imaging).
