RESEARCH SUMMARY

Dr. Bradford Wood directs a multi-disciplinary team at the NIH Center for Interventional Oncology that develops and translates devices, software and navigation approaches for cancer patients via novel local and regional minimally-invasive image-guided therapies.

At CCR, Dr. Wood serves as an adjunct investigator in the Urologic Oncology Branch's clinical core and is also a member of the NCI CCR Liver Cancer Program.

Areas of Expertise

Navigation tools for local and regional tumor ablation and embolization
Local drug delivery with micro- and nano-carriers
Fusion interventions, medical-GPS, or multi-modality, image-guided procedures
Immuno-modulation with local and regional therapies in interventional oncology
