Miguel Toro-González obtained his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from National University of Colombia and his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering from Virginia Commonwealth University. His dissertation focused on the development of lanthanide-based nanoparticles for targeted radionuclide therapy and multimodal molecular imaging. After completing his Ph.D., Miguel joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a postdoctoral research associate working on next generation radiotherapeutics and bioassessment platforms with Dr. Sandra Davern. He is currently a R&D research associate staff in the isotope applications research group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Miguel research interests include I am interested in (i) emergent and novel applications of radioisotopes in nuclear medicine, engineering, and industry; (ii) the development of nanomaterials to support breakthroughs in nanomedicine, radiochemistry, nuclear waste management, and radiation shielding; and (iii) understanding the mechanism of action and radiobiology of radiopharmaceuticals alone or combined with other therapeutic modalities to treat cancer.
