Mentor Areas
I specialize in the field of molecular imaging, most notably in the imaging modality of positron emission tomography (PET).
Description:
I conduct research in almost in all disciplines in medicine by utilizing the most advanced imaging modalities, including MRI, PET and CT. My lab is particularly interested in quantifying disease activity by very advanced techniques.
By adopting structural imaging techniques like MRI and CT along with molecular imaging methodologies we are able to assess and characterize many serious diseases that we face in medicine at the molecular and cellular levels. Currently, our discipline is judged as being the most exciting domain for research for the foreseeable future because we use some hardcore sciences such as physics, math, chemistry and biology to detect disease at its earliest stage and also discover the most effective therapeutic interventions for the management of patients.
Preferred Qualifications
I prefer students with some background in biology, chemistry, physics and computer sciences. The students take primary responsibility for conducting these projects but work very closely with the faculty assigned to them while working in the lab.
