Research Area: We investigate ways to better characterize tumors using non-invasive imaging techniques. This is important because tumours are constantly changing through mutations. In this way, an individual therapy should be possible and its success should be continuously monitored.

Research interests
My primary research interest centers on advancing molecular-based imaging and therapeutics in nuclear medicine, with particular emphasis on abdominal organs and gastroenterological conditions. I focus on elucidating the clinical significance and applications of theranostic approaches in hepatology and gastroenterology. Specifically, my work aims to identify and optimize theranostic agents for abdominal malignancies, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), Pancreas carcinoma as well as non-oncologic liver diseases. Through this research, I seek to bridge diagnostic imaging and targeted therapy to improve patient outcomes in abdominal and hepatobiliary disorders.
