Hauptarbeitsgebiete: Entwicklung nuklearmedizinischer Methoden zur Darstellung von Tumoren und zur Untersuchung des Herzmuskels sowie des Energiestoffwechsels von Myokard und Gehirn; Diagnostik neurodegenerativer Erkrankungen; Behandlung des Schilddrüsenkarzinoms und neuroendokriner Tumore; Charakterisierung des Rezeptorstatus von Tumoren mit der Positronenemissionstomographie; Grundlagen der Radionuklidtherapie mit Alphastrahlern sowie Radioimmuntherapie.
Major research activities were pursued to develop nuclear medicine methods for imaging of tumors and energy metabolism of myocardium and brain, for detection of neurodegenernative diseases, to improve treatment of thyroid cancer and neuroendocrine tumors, and to characterize the receptor status of tumors using positron emission tomography. Basic research is focused on radionuclide therapy with alpha emitters and on radioimmuntherapy.
