Get to Know Me

I serve as Deputy Director of the Sloan Kettering Institute where I oversee the Office of Science Education and Training (OSET). I head a laboratory in the Sloan Kettering Institute’s molecular pharmacology program, and I am a professor at the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. 

I have published more than 350 papers, books, book chapters, and reviews on cancer imaging. I serve on grant review panels for the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute. I also serve on a number of editorial boards.

I am researching new ways to use PET imaging to diagnose cancer as well as developing new radioimmunotherapies for treating this disease. My research is supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Education, and philanthropy.

What I Do at MSK

I'm a radiochemist, which is a doctor and scientist who studies radioactive elements.

Disclosures

Members of the MSK Community often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community. These activities outside of MSK further our mission, provide productive collaborations, and promote the practical application of scientific discoveries.

MSK requires doctors, faculty members, and leaders to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public. Not all disclosed interests and relationships present conflicts of interest. MSK reviews all disclosed interests and relationships to assess whether a conflict of interest exists and whether formal COI management is needed.
