 How do you see imaging transforming the development of novel therapies?

What are some transformative breakthroughs that have driven precision medicine efforts?

 

"Theranostics and radionuclide therapy have been a large growth area in recent years and is likely to become increasingly important in patient care and precision oncology for a range of cancer types."

 

 

 

 

What scientist (past or present) do you admire and why?

"It is hard to narrow this down to one person, however, I would say at Invicro, we recently celebrated in February the International Day for Women and Girls in Science which really highlights the remarkable women who made groundbreaking strides in their fields. From genetic coding, aerospace engineering, computer programming, medical breakthroughs to the NASA space program. This Day is a reminder that women play a critical role in science and technology and I believe it is so important to highlight the successes and achievements of these women to make them more of a household name to inspire the next generation."
