RESEARCH EXCELLENCE:
Patient outcomes has always been the measure I value as a reflection of my work. On the materials side, I have developed lower cost nanoparticles for drug delivery, characterized doses and elution properties of microspheres, and optimized embolic and isotope combinations. For the MIIPs lab, in spite of all of the technologies and modern equipment is rooted in the concept that income should never equate outcome
