Research Focus
Dr. Yuni K Dewaraja's research lab at the University of Michigan focuses on improving radioligand therapy for prostate cancer. The lab aims to make cancer treatment more personalized by developing methods to calculate the optimal dosage of radiation based on each patient's unique characteristics and response to therapy. By utilizing advanced imaging and modeling techniques, the research seeks to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce side effects for patients.
