Jason S. Lewis is a British radiochemist whose work relates to oncologic therapy and diagnosis. His research focus is a molecular imaging-based program focused on radiopharmaceutical development as well as the study of multimodality (PET, CT & MRI) small- and biomolecule-based agents and their clinical translation.[1] He has worked on the development of small molecules as well as radiolabeled peptides and antibodies probing the overexpression of receptors and antigens on tumors.[2]
Education
[edit] | This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (July 2019) |
Jason S. Lewis was born and raised in Horndean, Hampshire, England. Lewis received his Bachelor of Science in chemistry, B.Sc. from the University of Essex in 1992. He received his Master of Science in chemistry from the University of Essex in 1993.
In 1996, he received his Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry at the University of Kent.
Career
[edit]Lewis was an instructor of Radiology at the Washington University School of Medicine, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology from 2000 to 2002. From 2003 to 2008, he was an assistant professor of radiology at the Washington University School of Medicine, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology.[citation needed] He is the Emily Tow Jackson Chair in Oncology, the Vice Chairman for Research (Radiology) and Chief Attending of the Radiochemistry and Imaging Sciences Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He also heads a laboratory in the Sloan Kettering Institute's Molecular Pharmacology Program and is a professor at the Gerstner Sloan Kettering Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences.[3][4]
Lewis holds joint appointments in the Departments of Radiology and the Department of Pharmacology at Weill Cornell Medical School, NY.[citation needed]
Research focus
[edit]Lewis is a proponent of development imaging tools for use in personalized medicine. Lewis designs and develops radiochemical probes for use in nuclear medicine as well as multi-modality molecular imaging.[5] The use of these probes span from oncological metabolic detection to understanding the biological processes of cancer and pharmacological modification. These probes can be used for biomarkers in clinical trials as well as used as an agent for oncological diagnostics.[6][7] He has developed multiple new small molecules that target tumor metabolism, as well as radiolabeled peptides and antibodies for use in probing overexpression of receptors and antigens on tumors for research, clinical trials and in the clinic.[8]
