RESEARCH SUMMARY
Elaine Jagoda serves as the lead for the Laboratory of Radiopharmaceutical Development in the Molecular Imaging Branch of the National Cancer Institute. She has over 20 years of research experience in the development of PET/SPECT imaging agents in academic (George Washington University, Washington, DC), pharmaceutical (Bristol-Myers Squibb, Princeton, NJ; Merck Research Laboratories, West Point, PA), and government (PET Dept, Clinical Center; NIBIB, Bethesda, MD) settings. Her research is focused on pre-clinical development of novel PET molecular imaging agents for cancer which would work hand in hand with new targeted therapies proving useful not only for patient diagnosis and selection but in monitoring patient responses as well.
