Research Focus

Lam’s research focuses on the development and application of molecular imaging technologies based on rapid, high-resolution magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging, a unique modality that allows for mapping and quantifying the distribution of various metabolites in living animals and humans. This novel molecular imaging capability can provide new molecular biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment efficacy assessment. Lam hopes to help overcome technology’s limitations to translate high-resolution MRSI to brain tumor patients and develop machine learning techniques to optimize treatment outcomes.
