Research Overview

Development of novel Positron Emission Tomography (PET) radiotracers to study the biological processes that are characteristic of tumour cells.

Development, validation and/or qualification of existing PET radiotracers so that they can be used as predictive, prognostic, pharmacological and/or surrogate response biomarkers in oncology patients.

Current Research

Current projects involve tracers to study cell proliferation, hypoxia and angiogenesis. 

Collaborations

Prof Fiona Gilbert, University of Cambridge

Prof Paula Ghaneh, University of Liverpool

Prof David O'Hagan, University of St Andrews
