Israt Alam
Senior Research Scientist-Basic Life, Rad/Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford
BioResearch Focus and interests: Molecular Imaging, Clinical Translation, Graft versus Host Disease, Spatial Biology, Immune-Theragnostics
Dr. Israt Alam is a Senior Scientist in the Radiology Department at Stanford University. She trained in Prof. Sanjiv Sam Gambhir's lab and transitioned to Dr. Michelle James' lab in 2021. Her research focuses on studying lymphocyte activation with the motivation of developing non-invasive imaging tools, to monitor immune dynamics in response to cancer immunotherapy and in immunopathology. Her work has supported the clinical translation of several nuclear imaging agents (small molecules and a biologic) for early detection of cancer and prediction of treatment response, that are being evaluated in oncology trials around the world. She is currently leading the IND-enabling studies for a first in class PET tracer for T cell activation and has also supported several biomarker detection platforms for early disease detection. She was elected as Co-Chair of the "Imaging in cell and immune therapies" (ICIT) interest group for the World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS).
