Research Summary
Dr. Geschwind's primary research interests include finding new therapies for liver cancer, assessing tumor response after therapy using functional MR imaging, and investigating new drug delivery systems for locoregional cancer therapy. Along with colleagues from the departments of Radiology and Medicine, he has focused his research further into developing a new therapeutic approach for liver cancer using drugs specifically designed to block tumor metabolism in cancer cells.
