Interventional Radiology Translational Therapies Lab (IRTTL)

Our purpose is to develop minimally invasive, highly targeted alternatives for tumor treatment, vascular incompetence and tissue transplant, as well as to improve MR detection of tumors, using multimodal imaging for Interventional Radiology. Our primary models currently use gene therapy for hepatocarcinoma (HCC) in rats, HIFU for hindlimb ischemia in rabbits, and engrafting cell infusion for liver challenged mice.
