General Research Interest
Molecular Imaging, Optical Imaging, Oncologic Nuclear/PET Imaging and Hybrid imaging modalitiesResearch Description
Dr. Wright's research interests include (1) cancer imaging with clinical nuclear medicine techniques, (2) PET radioisotope-based optical imaging techniques (i.e., Cerenkov luminescence imaging), (3) perioperative/intraoperative cancer imaging and detection, (4) ex vivo surgical specimen imaging, (5) PET imaging of Yttrium-90 based radiotherapies, (6) molecular genetic imaging of cancer using promoter-driven reporter gene expression, and (7) molecular imaging of novel cancer therapeutics (e.g., oncolytic viruses).
