Research Focus
Dr. Martin G Pomper's lab specializes in developing innovative therapies and imaging techniques for prostate cancer, which is a significant health concern for men. They are focused on creating multimodal theranostic agents that combine diagnosis and treatment into one platform, particularly using dendrimers to target prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Their research aims to improve patient outcomes by enhancing the accuracy of cancer detection and monitoring treatment efficacy through advanced imaging methods.
