Dr. Mankoff is an experienced leader of multi-center trials as the past Chair of ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group’s Experimental Imaging Science Committee, as well as an expert in translational cancer science as the current Co-Chair of the ECOG-ACRIN Scientific Planning Committee.
Dr. Farrokh Dehdashti, MD
Farrokh Dedashti is Professor of Radiology, Senior Vice Chair and Director Division of Nuclear Medicine, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University in St. Louis. She is the PET Medical Director of the Center for Clinical Imaging Research (CCIR), a center for PET and PET/CT research imaging and Co-Leader of Oncologic Imaging Program of the Siteman Cancer Center. Her research has focused in translational oncologic studies with emphasis on receptor imaging and she has designed and executed the first human use of a variety of novel radiotracers developed at Washington University such as 16β-[¹⁸F]]fluoro-5α-dihydrotestosterone (FDHT) and Cu-diacetyl-bis (N4-methylthiosemicarbazone) (Cu-ATSM) and holds hold Investigational New Drug (IND) applications for several radiotracers, including F-18-FluorThanatrace ([¹⁸F]FTT), a PARP imaging agent.
