Interests:

  • Effect of diabetes on the severity of stress-induced ischemia in pts with CAD
  • Effect of diabetes on cardiac function in pts without CAD
  • Quantification of coronary blood flow with PET for evaluating pts with CAD
Recommended time commitment:These projects will require time for data analysis, which could be completed in 3-6 months. I anticipate that with manuscrip writing, any project will take about 1 year.

Interests:
Clinical:

  • Semi-quantitative analysis of thallium uptake and perfusion in brain tumors: correlation with patient survival and tumor histology (retrospective study)
  • Dual-isotope imaging in lymphoscintigraphy: comparison of deep and superficial drainage patterns (prospective study)

  • Liver-spleen scanning in pre-cardiac transplant patients: correlation with liver function before and after transplant (retrospective study)
  • Pulmonary V/Q scanning in pregnant women: test outcomes and effect on patient management (retrospective study)
Basic Science:
  • Imaging transplanted stem cells in vivo
  • Bacterial siderophores and iron transport proteins as reporter genes for in vivo imaging
  • Imaging unstable arteriosclerotic plaques
  • Development of inducible expression vectors for apoptosis-inducing genes
