"In the theranostic paradigm, imaging assesses the expression of the target for therapy across all sites of tumors in the body. Development of novel imaging-treatment paradigms is optimally done with the combination of robust quantitative analyses and radiology expertise."
"Extending the mindset of using nuclear medicine and radiology to test for molecular targets as we had done with pathology. Then taking that important next step of seeing the additional value of imaging for whole body assessment of tumor heterogeneity and burden."
"Heinrich Holland, Ph.D. - Professor Emeritus in the Earth and Planetary Sciences department of Harvard University. He escaped Nazi Germany as a child via “Kindertransport” to England and then later moved to USA. He received numerous honors, such as membership in the National Academy of Sciences. In demonstration of his character and dedication to mentorship, he awoke a struggling college student from a deep slumber in the laboratory of his geology class and offered him the unexpected opportunity to perform groundbreaking investigations, which inspired that student to pursue a career in research."
