Current Research
The center was established to support innovative research aimed at improving the lives of our patients. Below are examples of some of the research we currently support:
- Development of imaging-guided delivery techniques that enhance the therapeutic index of
chemo ,immuno , biologic and gene therapies - Development of agents and techniques for improved arterial embolization and chemoembolization
- Development of techniques and agents for image-guided thermal and chemical ablation of tumors
- Formulation of
transcatheter devices and techniques for diagnosis, palliation and treatment - Development and validation of CT perfusion imaging techniques to analyze tumor blood perfusion and vascular permeability for dynamic estimation of
angiogenic activity and response to therapy - Identification and evaluation of ligands that bind selectively to tumor vasculature for the purposes of targeted delivery of imaging and therapeutic agents
- Development of ways to non-invasively image tumor apoptosis and necrosis
- Study of tumorigenicity and metastasis using green fluorescent protein (GFP
) -transfected tumor cell lines
