Research Focus
Dr. Abhinav K Jha's lab focuses on enhancing cancer treatment through advanced imaging techniques. Specifically, they are developing a new method for quantitative imaging of alpha-particle therapies, which are promising treatments for metastatic cancers like prostate cancer. The research aims to accurately measure how much of these therapies are absorbed in both cancerous and healthy tissues, ultimately improving treatment personalization and effectiveness for patients.
