Research Focus

My research interests include imaging-altered metabolic and cellular signalling pathways to provide insights into understanding cardiovascular pathophysiology to help direct and guide therapy and evaluate progression of disease or treatment using PET receptor-ligands, glucose, free-fatty acid, O2 metabolism tracers, and stem cell labelling.
