Dr. Viviana Benfante, Ph.D., is Researcher, Scientist in Radiobiology and Molecular imaging with 11 years of hands-on laboratory experience and a strong track record in designing strategies and leading complex research projects. Her scientific expertise focuses on molecular imaging, radiobiology, radiotheranostics, and preclinical oncology research. She has developed in vitro radiobiology protocols using innovative radiopharmaceuticals and theranostic nanoparticles in 2D and 3D models, including spheroids and organoids, as well as murine models. Her work integrates multimodal imaging, microPET/CT, MRI, radiomics, and tailored artificial intelligence tools to assess radiopharmaceutical biodistribution and biological efficacy. She earned her PhD in Molecular and Clinical Medicine from the University of Palermo in 2024, with a thesis on tumor-targeted chelator-radionuclide complexes for diagnosis and therapy. She also holds an MSc in Biotechnology for Industry and Scientific Research and a BSc in Biological Sciences from the same university. She is the author of 44 publications, with an h-index of 18 on Scopus, and has reviewed more than 40 manuscripts since 2024. She received a young researcher award at the 47th Annual Meeting of the European Radiation Research Society. She is affiliated with the Order of Biologists of Sicily, ERRS, SIRR, and SRS.
