Biomarker Development Research Interests

Dr. Mary Rusckowski is Director of the Small Animal Imaging CORE Facility here at UMass Chan Medical School.  Her research focuses on small-animal molecular imaging and biomarker development. Her interests include:

• Radiolabeled bacteriophages for infection detection.
• Identifying and developing anti-tumor specific peptides from phage peptide libraries.
• Applications of small radiolabeled oligomers antisense to bacterial or fungal rRNA to detect bacterial or fungal infections.
