Research Summary

I am developing MRI contrast agents and MRI methods that measure the extracellular pH in tumors. I am applying these methods to measure tumor pH in relation to tumor hypoxia, and in response to pH altering chemotherapies. My colleagues and I are developing a clinical rial to test our tumor pH measurements with breast cancer patients.
