Young dynamic scientific woman, I have professional experiences, that either in industry (AREVA NC La Hague, treatment and recycling of used nuclear fuel site) or in laboratory (UNLV radiochemistry section, working on Technetium and Los Alamos National Laboratory, working on actinium chemistry).
My current interests are focused on developing fundamental concepts that advance use of radio-pharmaceutical anti-cancer agents. As such, my research lies at the intersection of synchrotron spectroscopy, radiochemistry, and inorganic chemistry. In general, I draw from my experiences in studying nuclear fuel cycles, technetium chemistry, and actinium and the other actinide elements to develop creative solutions to technical problems in radio-pharmaceutical chelation.
My position at the School of Medicine at UW in the Radiation and Oncology department is involved with several funded research projects. I was involved in the production and/or labeling studies in Dr. Wilbur's laboratory with several different radionuclides, such as At-211, Th-227/226, and U-230. My position enabled me to work on targetry and isotope production, as well as develop separation chemistry, study the radiolabelling ability of few ligands (made in house and commercially available) and help with proposal writing to help the expansion of the program.
