Israt Alam
Rad/Molecular Imaging Scientist, Rad/Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioResearch Focus and interests: Molecular Imaging, PET, Immuno-Oncology, Graft versus Host Disease, Cell therapies
Dr. Israt Alam is a Research Scientist at the Radiology Department at Stanford University, under the supervision of Prof. Sanjiv Sam Gambhir. Her research focuses on studying lymphocyte activation with the motivation of developing non-invasive imaging tools, to monitor immune dynamics in response to immunotherapy and for diagnosis of immune driven diseases. Her work has supported the clinical translation of several nuclear imaging agents for early disease diagnosis and prediction of treatment response for improved patient management.
