Sheryl Roberts, PhD, has joined Yale School of Medicine as an assistant professor of radiology and biomedical imaging. With a background in organic chemistry and a focus on molecular imaging and radioligand therapy, Roberts aims to develop chemical tools to aid in cancer treatment through advanced imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET). Her previous work at Karmanos Cancer Institute emphasized creating tools for visualizing molecular processes and understanding disease mechanisms. She expressed excitement about returning to the lab at Yale, citing access to state-of-the-art facilities and collaborative opportunities as key factors in her move. Roberts' ultimate goal is to translate her research into patient care, helping to improve therapeutic strategies in oncology.
