Dr. Anil Bidkar is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. He achieved his doctoral degree from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India. During his graduate studies, his research primarily centered on the development and application of nanomedicines, as well as the integration of novel and traditional therapies in cancer models. Dr. Bidkar is currently working on research projects within the area of radioligand therapy and imaging agent development. His focus is on advancing preclinical prostate cancer theranostics, with particular emphasis on PET imaging and treatment investigations. 

Dr. Anju Wadhwa is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. She achieved her doctoral degree from the Department of Chemistry, University of Delhi, India. During her graduate studies, her research primarily centered on the design and development of metal complexes as molecular imaging probes and the application of molecular probes for the diagnosis of prostate cancer and breast cancer. Dr. Wadhwa is currently working on the development of theranostics for hematological malignancy Multiple Myeloma and Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Athira Raveendran had completed her Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from India (2018) and a Ph.D. in Advanced Bioengineering from Chonnam National University, South Korea (2023). Currently, working as a post-doctoral researcher in Prof. Robert Flavell’s group at UCSF. Her research focuses on the the dynamic and cutting-edge field of radiopharmaceuticals, with a particular focus on advancing both radioligand therapy and imaging modalities like PET/SPECT to improve cancer detection and treatment. The research also involves the integration of PARP inhibitors with radionuclide therapy, demonstrating an approach that promises enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
