The Lewis Lab specializes in molecular imaging agents using nonstandard nuclides like 212Pb and 203Pb. Key research areas include:
- Pretargeting strategies via bioorthogonal click chemistry
- Radioimmunotherapy for pancreatic, prostate, and gastric cancers
- Clinical translation of novel radiopharmaceuticals
- Theranostic applications of alpha-particle therapy
Recent publications highlight pretargeted 212Pb therapy for pancreatic cancer (JNM 2024) and statin-enhanced radioligand approaches (PNAS 2023). His work has received widespread recognition including the Glenn T. Seaborg Award (2023) and lifetime achievement honors from the World Molecular Imaging Society (2021).
