Radiopharmaceutical Therapy

lt;p>Lisa Bodei, MD, PhD is a nuclear medicine physician with extensive experience and expertise in therapeutic and diagnostic applications of nuclear medicine in oncology, particularly with theranostics and the application of genomic technology to further defining the efficacy of theranostics. She is the Director of the Targeted Radionuclide Therapy Section of the Molecular Imaging and Therapy Service in the Department of Radiology, MSKCC. She has authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications and serves on the editorial boards of several scientific journals.

Jason S. Lewis, PhD, is the Emily Tow Chair, Chief of the Radiochemistry and Imaging Sciences Service, and Director of the Radiochemistry and Molecular Imaging Probe Core Facility in the Department of Radiology, MSKCC. He heads a laboratory in the Sloan Kettering Institute's molecular pharmacology program and is a professor at the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. He has published more than 300 papers, books, book chapters, and reviews on cancer imaging and therapy.

Brian M. Zeglis, PhD, received his scientific training at Yale University, the California Institute of Technology, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center before starting his own lab at Hunter College of the City University of New York in 2015. His current research is focused on the synthesis, in vivo validation, and clinical translation of radiopharmaceuticals for the imaging and therapy of disease, with a particular emphasis on investigations at the intersection of radiochemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.

"There are no other books like this for those who want to learn or update themselves on the state of the art and the future of radiopharmaceutical therapy ... . I very strongly suggest this publication not only to nuclear physicians ... but also to all oncologists and other clinicians interested in the topic and to scientists and students who want to look for an extremely promising field of development for their future research or clinical practice." (Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, Vol. 51 (4), 2024)
