Cancer Imaging

Research Abstract

Our laboratory studies the biophysical effects of densely ionizing radiation and its application to experimental cancer therapy. The interaction of alpha particles as well as Auger and Koster-Cronig electrons wtih chromosal DNA and its consituents is a central focus. Biological endpoints include double strand breaks, clonal survival, transformation and mutagenesis. The information obtained from these studies is used in the development of agents for targeted radionuclide therapy.We are also interested in cell surface enzymes and mitochondrial membranes as targets for radio-labeled imaging and therapeutic probes.
