Liver cancer alters how cells use sugar long before tumors are visible. This research makes sugar detectable by MRI, allowing real-time imaging of cancer metabolism inside the liver. By revealing how tumors process energy differently from healthy tissue, the technique could enable earlier diagnosis, monitor treatment response, and improve patient survival.

This research develops a novel MRI-based method to detect blood–brain barrier leakage associated with stroke. By comparing pre- and post-contrast brain images, the approach enables early detection, monitoring of treatment response, and risk prediction, offering new possibilities for stroke prevention and improved patient outcomes

My research develops a gentle cancer treatment using ultrasound to activate specialised LDH particles inside tumour cells. These particles release ROS “micro-explosions” that kill cancer without surgery or chemotherapy. Enhanced with MRI-visible metals, the method offers a safe, targeted therapy that destroys breast cancer cells using sound instead of pain.
