As a radiologist in an academic medical center, I am devoted to improving clinical care for my patients suffering from breast and prostate cancer. My research has focused on developing new imaging protocols and on correlating prostate and breast cancer imaging phenotypes and MR/US imaging classifiers with histology, immunohistochemistry, and gene expression profiles. I recognize the imperative need for correlating imaging phenotypes with tumor genotypes in order to advance knowledge regarding a broad range of breast and prostate diseases, as well as their early diagnosis, progression/behavior and treatment, by developing new (imaging) biomarkers.
A second major research focus is the design and development of biopsy and treatment tools, like biopsy markers (biopsy clips; Coulter award 2011), and treatment planning phantoms and atlases in collaboration with engineers and image post-processors.
