She oversees an interdisciplinary research laboratory at the Case Center for Imaging Research, exploring new synergies between drug delivery and image-guided interventions. The Exner lab is currently engineering several innovative technologies including drug-eluting polymer implants for intratumoral chemotherapy, multifunctional nanoparticles for ultrasound-mediated detection and treatment and targeted thermosensitizers for improved hyperthermia treatment of cancer. Research from her laboratory is supported by the National Cancer Institute of the NIH, and has been documented in numerous peer-reviewed publications, abstracts and conference proceedings. Dr. Exner received her B.S. and Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University.
