At this center, Dr. Corbin continued to develop expertise and expand his investigations in the area of diagnostic and therapeutic nanomedicine. In 2009, Dr. Corbin returned to the United States where he accepted a position as an Assistant Professor in the Advanced Imaging Research Center at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Corbin’s lab currently focuses on image-guided strategies for nanomedicine-based drug delivery.
