Professor of Radiology and BME; Director, CWRU Center for Imaging Research
Case Western Reserve University
Cleveland, Ohio
Dr. Exner is the Director of the CWRU Center for Imaging Research, Henry Wilson Payne Professor and Vice Chair for Basic Research in the Department of Radiology, and Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Exner is an internationally recognized leader in molecular imaging and theranostics – her multidisciplinary research at the interface of nanomedicine and biomedical ultrasound and focuses on development of novel platform technologies for molecular imaging and image-guided drug delivery. Under this umbrella her research group has pioneered the development of long-circulating ultrasound responsive targeted nanobubbles for biomedical applications. The nanobubbles are a versatile platform with potential use as cancer cell specific agents for early disease diagnosis, as companion diagnostics for prediction of tumor heterogeneity and vascular permeability and as cell specific cavitation agents for ultrasound-mediated therapy. She is also an expert in long acting, intratumoral drug delivery formulations. Dr. Exner is an elected Senior Member of the National Academy of Inventors, Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and Distinguished Investigator of the Academy of Radiology Research.
