Avnesh Thakor

Description

Dr Thakor is adult and pediatric-certified Interventional Radiologist, and Physician-Scientist, who practices at Stanford University. He runs and directs a translational laboratory at Stanford University called Interventional Radiology Innovation at Stanford (IRIS). His vision is to develop the area of "Precision Delivery" in which targeted delivery approaches are used to locally deliver drug, gene, cell and cell-free therapies directly to organs using image-guided endovascular (i.e. within blood vessels), percutaneous (i.e. through the skin), endoluminal (i.e. within the bowel, respiratory or urinary system), and even using device implantation (i.e. bioscaffolds) approaches.
