Personal Statement

My vision for our Molecular Imaging and Therapeutics Service is to translate the best science into practice. This starts with a focus on clinical excellence, and developing a culture of mentorship of the junior faculty and trainees who will initiate the next practice-changing diagnostics beyond fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET). This next phase will require establishing viable, reimbursable therapeutics and establishing a firm connection with non-imaging sciences. Finally, we must also engage our patients and community to ensure that this advanced imaging meets the quality metrics that will clearly alter the practice of medicine.
