Distinguished Investigator

A Distinguished Investigator of Theranostics is a level of distinction conferred upon an individual physician who has demonstrated a mastery of conducting novel radioligand therapies and molecular imaging clinical trials.

Andrei Iagaru, MD

Dr. Iagaru is a Professor of Radiology - Nuclear Medicine and the Chief of the Division of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging at Stanford University Medical Center. He completed medical school at Carol Davila University of Medicine, Bucharest, Romania, and an internship at Drexel University College of Medicine, Graduate Hospital, in the Department of Medicine in Philadelphia. He began his residency at the University of Southern California (USC) Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, in the Division of Nuclear Medicine. Dr. Iagaru finished his residency and completed a PET/CT fellowship at Stanford University's School of Medicine in the Division of Nuclear Medicine. His research interests include PET/MRI and PET/CT for early cancer detection; clinical translation of novel PET radiopharmaceuticals; peptide-based diagnostic imaging and therapy; targeted radionuclide therapy. Since joining the faculty at Stanford in 2007, Dr. Iagaru has received several awards including the Society of Nuclear Medicine (SNM) 2009 Image of the Year Award; AuntMinnie 2016 Best Radiology Image, American College of Nuclear Medicine (ACNM) Mid-Winter Conference 2010 Best Essay Award; 2009, 2014 and 2015 Western Regional SNM Scientist Award; 2011 SNM Nuclear Oncology Council Young Investigator Award; the 2020 Sanjiv Sam Gambhir Distinguished Scientist Award, Western Regional SNM and the 2022 Sanjiv Sam Gambhir Trailblazer Award, SNMMI. Dr. Iagaru published more than 230 papers in peer-reviewed journals, as well as 9 book chapters and 1 book.

RLT Components

RADIOLIGAND THERAPY (RLT) is a highly effective approach to very accurately locating cancer cells and effectively killing those same cells by delivery various radioisotopes to a specific target that is located on a type of cancer. Some of the Radioisotopes are diagnostic for locating cancers & some therapeutic to treat the cancers.

There are several Components to a RLT that are simply demonstrated in the truck diagram including:

  1. Cancer Targets
  2. Ligand (demonstrated as the Truck GPS set to find a specific Target)
  3. Diagnostic Radioisotopes (demonstrated as light bulbs that light the cancer Targets on a PET scan)
  4. Therapeutic Radioisotopes (demonstrated as bombs that kill cancer cells that express the target with either Alpha or Beta radiation)
  5. Linker (demonstrated as the hitch keeping the Radioisotope attached to the Ligand)
  6. Chelator (demonstrated as the Trailers which keeps the Radioisotope on Target).

To learn more about the specific components being studied today on clinical trials around the world check out the RLT COMPONENTSTab.
