Research

Professor
The Lewis lab research interests are focused on the development of radiopharmaceuticals for targeted diagnosis and treatment of cancer. By combining small- and biomolecule-based targeting agents with positron-emitting or therapeutic radioisotopes, we can interrogate molecular profiles of cancer using noninvasive nuclear imaging or treat tumors specifically with endoradiotherapy. Our research program is a molecular-imaging-based program focused on the targeting of nonstandard nuclides, with an emphasis on developing these novel radiopharmaceuticals for clinical translation. A few examples of our work are given below.

Disclosures
Doctors and faculty members often work with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology, and life sciences companies, and other organizations outside of MSK, to find safe and effective cancer treatments, to improve patient care, and to educate the health care community.
MSK requires doctors and faculty members to report (“disclose”) the relationships and financial interests they have with external entities. As a commitment to transparency with our community, we make that information available to the public.
