Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Timothy J. Muldoon's research focuses on biomedical optics and imaging, with a particular emphasis on cancer research and immunotherapy. He has received significant funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for an REU site focused on training in emerging biomedical optics and imaging approaches, totaling $414,426.

His work investigates the application of advanced imaging techniques to understand tumor microenvironments and treatment responses. Recent publications explore autofluorescence imaging of metabolic cofactors in macrophages, the role of macrophage-targeted immunotherapy in enhancing tumor sensitivity to chemotherapy in murine colon carcinoma models, and the spatial characterization of multicellular tumor spheroids. Muldoon also examines longitudinal markers of perfusion and angiogenesis in colorectal tumors to differentiate treatment strategies and investigates the physiological and therapeutic role of CD47 in macrophage function and cancer.

Muldoon's research extends to statistical methods for analyzing longitudinal biomedical data, including the development and application of generalized additive models. He has a history of collaboration with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Shelby N. Bess, Mostafa Elsaadany, Matthew J. Igoe, and Christopher E. Nelson. His scholarly output is characterized by a h-index of 16, with over 93 publications and 1,328 citations.
