Our laboratory exists on the interface between molecular imaging and immunology. We use molecular imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) to study immune responses in preclinical models of cardiovascular disease. We use these noninvasive tools to, for example, help investigate how external stimuli such as lifestyle factors or infections affect cardiovascular immunology. In addition, we explore the implementation of PET imaging techniques in the fields of diabetes and transplantation.
We are affiliated with the BioMedical Engineering Institute and the Cardiovascular Research Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
