Description
SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS * Developed more than 6 novel PET tracers for cancer diagnosis and evaluated them in mouse tumor models. Received "Bench to bedside" NIH grant of $240,000 and translated one of the tracers into clinical trials * Studied human adrenocortical carcinoma cancer using various tissue samples analysis including immunohistochemistry and gene expression analysis * Identified the mechanisms involved in NK cells mobilization from storage organs to target tissues and applied that knowledge to develop immunotherapy for lung cancer and Influenza infection in mice * Developed a novel single nodal lung cancer mouse model ACCOMPLISHMENTS * Developed more than 6 novel PET tracers for cancer diagnosis and evaluated them in mouse tumor models.
