Personal profile

Research interests

We develop and apply chemistry for molecular imaging and systemic targeted radiotherapy. We are particularly interested in attaching radioactive metals to biomolecules that target cancer. These "radiotracers" enable diagnostic imaging of cancer, or alternatively, deliver a radiotherapeutic dose of radiation to diseased cells.

Our research spans basic chemical research (chelator synthesis, inorganic chemistry, radiochemistry), application of new and existing chemistry to develop new radiolabelled agents, and preclinical research in which we test new radiolabelled agents in biological models of disease, including pre-clinical PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging. We collaborate with a range of academic, industry and clinical partners.
