Research Interest
Preclinical research into alpha-emitter radiopharmaceutical therapy. These therapies have shown to result in a very strong treatment response, which for a large part is governed by indirect effects of radiation (i.e., immune system activation and bystander effects). My lab works on quantifying the interactions between absorbed dose on a very small scale (~cells) and these indirect effects. The goal is to provide a mechanistic rationale for future dosing schedules and combination therapies.
