Research Focus
Wawrzyniec Dobrucki’s studies focus on developing multimodal imaging strategies to track myocardial and peripheral angiogenesis with targeted molecular imaging agents. His current research explores the effects of dietary modulation on prostatic neuroendocrine differentiation and the efficacy of anticancer treatment. He is currently a co-investigator for a study on breast cancer and cholesterol and a study on nanotherapeutics for cancer treatment. He demonstrates the importance of nanoparticle imaging-agent size and chemical functionalization, and the feasibility of molecular imaging of cancer with various nanoparticle types, through his research. His research in imaging strategies will eventually lead to individualized programs for disease prevention through advanced diagnosis, risk stratification, and targeted therapies, resulting in more successful and efficient health care.
