Biography
I am a graduate of the UBNM Residency Program with expanded fellowship training in Nuclear Medicine/Oncology in the UBMD practice, at the Buffalo VAMC, and at Roswell Park Cancer Institute. I have been full-time faculty in Saudi Arabia and have most recently served as Head of Nuclear Medicine at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and as Chairman of Radiology Research and Director of Nuclear Medicine fellowship training.
My research interest is mainly in the field of cancer imaging particularly molecular Imaging of cancer, and the radionuclide/radio targeted therapy.
