Ph.D., MD, FRCPC, Senior Scientist
Dr. Czarnota is conducting research focused on using ultrasound imaging and spectroscopy at conventional and high frequencies to detect apoptosis and other forms of cell death in response to chemotherapy and radiation therapy. He is also interested in the role of blood vessels in tumour radiation response and has also pioneered novel biophysical vascular destruction strategies that target tumour blood vessels.

Scientist
Our aim is to develop and enhance the use of ultrasound techniques to improve cancer treatment. Our primary focus is the development of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) methods to monitor cancer therapy response. In addition, we have are developing novel ultrasound-based therapies to improve current conventional cancer treatments. Our ultimate goal is to implement both clinically at the end of the proposed research period, with clinical evaluations of enhanced imaging and cancer treatment derived from these research objectives.
