Interests:
- Designing and evaluating small receptor and target specific radiopharmaceuticals both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Our interests are focused in two broad areas of tumor and neuroreceptor imaging.
On-going projects include:
- Small molecules specifically designed for targeting various tumors. (melanoma, prostate and breast cancer)
- Small molecules designed for high affinity binding to various brain neuroreceptors.
The nature of the projects run from the initial conception of the molecular design, synthesis of the molecules to the in-vitro and in-vivo evaluations of the radiopharmaceutical in various cellular and animal models.Ê The nature of the projects requires at least a 6 months to a year or more of time commitment.
