Research Interest Statement
Non-invasive imaging for early diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease. Development of labeling techniques for cell tracking and drug/protein delivery. Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques for minimally invasive treatment.
Current Projects
1. Mesenchymal stem cell delivery via interventional MR fluoroscopy in acute myocardial infarction.
2. Tracking of mesenchymal stem cells using MRI for arteriogenesis in peripheral arterial disease.
3. Biodistribution and targeting of stem cell therapy
