Preclinical Molecular Imaging and Cancer
Best Teacher award bestowed by Tata Memorial Centre, September 2025.
At MFIL@ACTREC, we are engaged in interdisciplinary research involving preclinical Molecular Imaging (MI) for understanding the biology of breast cancer, therapy resistance to personalized drugs, testing experimental cancer therapeutics and cancer nanomedicines. In the era of precision therapy, research in our laboratory involves development and use of molecular reporter sensors suitable for estimating molecular functions in vivo. A wide spectrum of experimental medicine and novel concept therapeutics using non-invasive molecular imaging and mouse models are developed. The laboratory has also contributed significantly to the institutional mandate by filing and securing multiple patents. Learn more about our research and areas of study below.
