18th Annual Sridhar R. Charagundla Lecturer
Bukola Y. Adebesin, BS
Bukola Adebesin is a fourth-year Bioengineering PhD candidate conducting research in the Penn Image- Guided Interventions (PIGI) Lab and the Metabolic Discovery Center at Penn (MEDCAP), under the mentorship of Dr. Terence Gade and Dr. Stephen Kadlecek. Her research interest lies in developing noninvasive molecular imaging strategies to advance precision medicine in oncology. Currently, she is working on a precision imaging approach for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) that integrates tumor biology with Hyperpolarized MRI technology. Her work aims to non-invasively characterize HCC at the molecular level, enabling more tailored treatment strategies to ultimately improve patient outcomes.
