I graduated from the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Ahmedabad, India with a master’s degree in Pharmacology and Toxicology, with Neuroscience as a major. I started my PhD journey within the Princess Máxima Center in February 2023.
Molecular imaging and targeted immunotherapy using biologicals, has improved the outcome in many adult cancers. However it is rarely applied in pediatric oncology. Under the supervision of with Dr. Claudia Janda, Prof. Dr. Max van Noesel and Dr. Alex Poot, I aim to develop nanobody-based radiotracers for PET imaging and radioimmunotherapy targeting several biomarkers overexpressed in various pediatric sarcomas and solid tumors. My research mainly focuses on developing nanobodies, radiolabelling them, and determining their in vitro and in vivo binding and efficacy for their clinical potential.
