(Invited Talk) Workshop on Radiobiology, Omics and Microdosimetry of Systemic and Targeted Radiotherapies – Oak Ridge National Labs, Oak Ridge, TN, USA. 24th of July, 2019.

In the Thurecht group, we are interested in the biologically inspired design of finely tuned nanomaterials for the diagnosis and treatment of various cancers and diseased tissues.  By applying modern imagining modalities of fluorescence, PET, CT, MRI, and photoacoustics we have developed a range of nanomedicines with modular targeting, site-selective drug delivery, and probes that image biological processes in addition to giving biodistribution and accumulation information.  We are now translating these preclinical results up the pipeline from rodents to companion animals and applying comparative oncology methodologies to translate these cutting-edge theranostics into the clinical space.
