Bio/Research
My research interests are in the application of ultrasound in combination with microbubbles in medical imaging and therapeutics. Our group is specifically interested in improving local drug delivery of medicinal drugs and in enhancing sensitivity of tumours to ionzing radiation. I am collaborating with researchers at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre to extend the investigation of these effects in animal tumour models.
