Nico Malan is a clinician-scientist in nuclear medicine and cardiovascular imaging, with strong ties to African academic and clinical research environments. His work bridges advanced molecular imaging, hypertension research, and health systems evaluation, contributing to both regional and international collaborations. He has co-authored studies in leading cardiology and imaging journals and participated in global initiatives coordinated by international agencies.
His research spans Ga-68 PSMA and DOTATATE PET/CT imaging, emphasizing normal variants and diagnostic pitfalls to improve interpretive accuracy and theranostic decision-making. He has also investigated imaging strategies for pulmonary thromboembolism and contributed to case-based safety literature in radioactive iodine therapy, underscoring patient communication and clinical vigilance in nuclear medicine practice.
In cardiovascular science, his publications explore renal and hemodynamic mechanisms in primary hypertension within African populations, highlighting volume-dependent pathways. He further examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular diagnostic services across multiple regions. This body of work reflects strengths in multimodality imaging, population-based cardiovascular research, and collaborative global health scholarship.
