Research

Our translational research focuses on evaluating and validating PET tracers for imaging the tumor microenvironment. We are especially interested in approaches for determining the level of radioresistance in solid tumors that affect radiotherapy treatment outcomes in cancer patients. Such tracers can be utilized for treatment planning and follow-up purposes in clinical settings. Another objective is to re-evaluate some existing tracers for their possible use as cancer imaging tools or to measure changes in cancer-dependent metabolism pathways on a whole-body level, which might affect treatment outcomes. We combine PET technology with state-of-the-art technologies for molecular biology utilizing cell lines, tumor models, and patient-derived samples.
