About
Dr. Punit Sharma is a distinguished nuclear medicine physician and researcher whose work bridges clinical oncology and radiochemistry innovation. His primary research areas include PET/CT imaging, radiopharmaceutical production, and the clinical translation of novel tracers for cancer diagnosis and therapy. Dr. Sharma is best known for his pioneering work in optimizing cyclotron-based production of PET tracers, most notably his 2014 study describing a novel technique to simultaneously produce the bone agent ¹⁸F-sodium fluoride alongside ¹⁸F-FDG in a single cyclotron run, dramatically reducing radiation exposure and production costs. This work, cited over 3 times, has practical implications for expanding access to bone PET imaging in resource-limited settings. Beyond radiochemistry, Dr. Sharma has made significant contributions to the clinical validation of PET/CT in various malignancies, including lymphoma, lung cancer, and head and neck cancers. His research portfolio reflects a commitment to making advanced molecular imaging more efficient, safer, and widely available, earning him recognition as a key figure in the evolution of modern nuclear medicine practice.
