Assistant ProfessorMy research is focused on the development of novel radiopharmaceuticals. Radiopharmaceuticals are medications that contain a radioisotope within their molecular structure. When administered to patients and accumulated in cancer cells, radioactive radiations emitted from tumors can be used for nuclear medicine diagnostics and therapies. Since radiation is constantly emitted in the body, I aim to develop safe radiopharmaceuticals that selectively target cancerous tissues without accumulating in non-cancerous ones.
Recent Topics of Interests:
Therapeutic nuclear medicine using astatine-211 based radiopharmaceuticals and the coordination chemistry of metallic radioisotopes
Motto in Research or in Life:
Continuity is the father of success
Thoroughly pursue research that I find intriguing
