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
