Research interests
I am excited about the potential of fusing molecular imaging technologies with molecular genetics and biochemistry. While this will hold great potential to advance clinical decision making in our quest towards more personalised medicine. However, there is also enormous synergies to be raised in pre-clinical research, looking at entire organisms in response to perturbations like infections, inflammation, oncogenesis and aberrant development.
I am the preclinical research manager at the Division of Nuclear Medicine and coordinate research proposals, collaborations and recruitment. Get in touch with your collaboration idea.
