Research Focus
Dr. Harrison Kim's lab at Ohio State University focuses on improving treatment strategies for patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. They utilize advanced imaging techniques, specifically dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), to evaluate how well patients respond to chemotherapy before surgical intervention. This innovative approach aims to enhance surgical outcomes and ensure patients receive the most effective therapy early in the treatment process.
