Overview

My main clinical interest is in targeted radionuclide therapies (theragnostic) for neoplastic conditions, which is a novel and rapidly evolving treatment modality, which has revolutionized the way we treat mainly prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors in the recent past.My main research interest is in use of Artificial Intelligence in medical imaging and in theragnostic, and I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Computer and Information Technology (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania (remotely), to further improve my knowledge and skills in this area. I also have a deep appreciation for music, and I play the piano, guitar, and harmonica.
