Thanks for your question. I will take this opportunity to briefly explain what I do and let you be the judge. I am working on two projects during my PhD. 1. Trying to image the cancer drug carriers: Nanomedicine inside the body using PET/SPECT imaging(nuclear imaging). The objective of this is to improve the present treatments in the clinic for cancer and make them more targeted and impactful. 2. In my second project, I am trying to utilize ultrasound to deliver the drugs in the brain (an organ which is hardest to deliver drugs to). These two projects might be baby steps towards making people’s lives better.

I hope so, and I also hope not!
I look into what could be done after a radiation accident to help protect people’s health and to help restore some kind of normality after the event. So I hope that IF something happened work I’ve done will help make things safe again and protect people. BUT I really, really hope that no big accident occurs in the first place.
