The Imaging and Radiation Sciences (IR) Program pursues basic, translational, and clinical research involving ionizing and non-ionizing radiation in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of cancer. The IR program has a strongly integrated scope in three major areas: Imaging Sciences, Radiation Sciences, and Imaging/Therapy Synergies.
Research Areas
The overarching goal of the IR program is to integrate physical and biological sciences with clinical research and clinical practice by developing and using novel imaging agents, imaging and therapeutic technologies, and radiobiologically and molecularly targeted approaches to improve cancer diagnosis and therapy. These goals are accomplished in three specific aims:
- Aim 1: To develop and translate innovative imaging agents and technologies to improve cancer detection and treatment
- Aim 2: To develop molecular, immunological, radiobiological, and technological approaches that improve therapeutic radiation response
- Aim 3: To explore synergies between imaging and radiation sciences for more effective personalization of localized therapies
