Dr. Gabriela Spilberg

Biography

Gabriela Spilberg, MD, specializes in nuclear medicine radiology, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, with particular emphasis on neuroendocrine tumors. She employs advanced imaging techniques and molecular imaging to detect and manage conditions using small amounts of radioactive substances, creating detailed pictures of the body's cellular activity. This approach allows for the development of precise, targeted treatments for cancer patients. Dr. Spilberg serves as an assistant professor in radiology and biomedical imaging at Yale School of Medicine. Her research is centered on the use of molecular imaging to improve cancer care by tailoring treatments based on specific cellular and molecular information. She received her medical degree from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and completed a research fellowship at the University of Massachusetts, in addition to fellowships in neuroradiology, interventional radiology, emergency radiology, cardiovascular imaging, and PET/CT cancer imaging. Dr. Spilberg completed her residency in the Harvard Joint Program in Nuclear Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School.
