Now based in Rome, my research in Cambridge focused on integrated diagnostics, through the clinical development and validation of functional imaging biomarkers to rapidly evaluate treatment response using physiologic and metabolic tumour habitat imaging. My research in the new field of “radio genomics” has focused on understanding the molecular basis of cancer by demonstrating the phenotypic patterns which occur as a result of multiple genetic alterations that interact with the tumour microenvironment to drive the disease. My work integrates quantitative imaging methods for evaluation of spatial and temporal tumour heterogeneity with genomics, proteomics and metabolomics. The integration of “multi-omics” data will be essential for unravelling tumour heterogeneity and making real-time clinical decisions for patients.
I am one of the two programme leads for the Advanced Cancer Imaging programme.
I am active in many academic organizations. I am the Chair of Radiology Society of North America (RSNA) Oncologic Imaging Track, serve on the Oncologic Imaging and Therapies Task Force of RSNA and the Genitourinary Imaging Subcommittee of European Society of Radiology. I am a member of Board of Trustees of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), the International Cancer Imaging Society (ICIS) and The European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR). I am an Editorial Board member and Head of Oncology Section of European Radiology. I was elected as a Fellow of ICIS in 2014, a Fellow of ISMRM in 2015, a fellow of ESUR in 2018 and received the RSNA Honoured Educator Award in 2014 and 2017. I was recently given the 2020 BIR/Canon Mayneord Award.
