My interest is to help develop MR imaging methods in research and clinical settings.

My current project with Dr. Dan Gochberg is to develop CERT imaging methods to detect biophysical and biochemical changes in muscle and cancer tissues.

I am managing and developing medical image archive and retrieve software infrastructures, providing support for data access.

I am interested in the design and synthesis of small molecules and radiolabeling with C-11, F-18 as well as Tc-99m as novel radioligands for PET/SPECT imaging use.

My research efforts are towards radiotracers production for preclinical studies and performance radiotracers production for clinical use related to activities in compliance with protocols and cGMP and FDA regulations.

My research focus is on diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound using contrast agents, as well image-guided cancer therapy and neuromodulation.

My current projects include using image-guided ultrasound to increase particle delivery to breast tumors, as well as using focused ultrasound to illicit neuronal activation in brain

I enjoy being involved in Human Imaging studies. Each study is unique and interesting, offering great new data. I am constantly being amazed by the creativity coming from each of the groups, and have truly enjoyed my time working with them.

I screen and position participants and perform research MR protocols. I also provide MR technologist services and support for Investigators and research staff.

I enjoy all the people. Since there are many people working here from other countries, I like to learn about their home countries. My goal is to make sure that their experience at the VUIIS is a pleasant and productive one.

My job is to make sure that the day to day operations of the VUIIS run smoothly

Working at VUIIS provides an environment of perpetual learning and growth in the world of research. My focus in PET/CT imaging allows me to apply my clinical knowledge of nuclear medicine to help participants and investigators in preclinical trial studies.

I am responsible for the administration of radiopharmaceuticals for PET studies at VUIIS. I also provide PET/CT imaging services and support to clinical trial participants, research staff and investigators.
