Haswitha Sabbineni proposes a targeted therapy for prostate cancer that requires the rare isotope rhenium‑188. To obtain the isotope, she accessed the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the few facilities capable of producing rhenium‑188 through the decay of tungsten‑188. Sabbineni, a graduate student at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, is extending research begun by her mentor, professor Nancy Carrasco, and colleague Alejandro Llorente‑Esteban, who completed his doctorate in Carrasco’s lab.
