Michael K. Schultz, Ph.D.
Associate
Dr. Schultz joins the University of Iowa after three years as a Research Scientist with the National Institute of Standards and Technology where he worked on primary standardizations of radiopharmaceuticals for imaging and therapy, as well as technique development for radiolabeling of alpha-emitting radionuclides for targeted radioimmunotherapy. His current research interests include method and technique development for automated synthesis of compounds for P.E.T. imaging, as well as development of new radiopharmaceuticals for applications in functional imaging and radioimmunotherapy. Current investigations include methods development for tumor imaging using 2-[18F]-Fluor-2-Deoxy-D-Glucose synthesis, 18O water studies for P.E.T. imaging neurological studies, and 11C-choline PET imaging of suspected metastatic or recurrent prostate cancer.
