Dr. Sorace comes from the University of Texas at Austin in 2019 where she was an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Diagnostic Medicine, Oncology, and Biomedical Engineering. Her broad research interests include improving cancer patient care through translational advancements in cancer imaging. She has expertise in multimodality, non-invasive quantitative imaging to improve detection, monitoring and therapy of cancer in both preclinical animal models and clinical cancer research.

The overall goal of Dr. Sorace’s research is to identify imaging biomarkers for early response to neoadjuvant and adjuvant cancer treatment and utilize quantitative imaging to guide and improve drug delivery of current therapies in cancer. She moved back to Birmingham with her husband, Anthony, and their two daughters.
