Will Grissom and colleagues were awarded a five-year, $3.7M grant from the National Cancer Institute, pioneering a new approach to prostate cancer surgery by combining advanced robotics and “low-field” MRI technology.

With a $3 million grant from the NIH, Dan Ma and colleagues are using advanced imaging technology to better understand changes in the infant brain that may accompany Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome in the project, "Comprehensive MR Fingerprinting for Infants and Young Children at Risk for Developmental Delays."

Juhwan Lee, Research Assistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering, received an NHLBI K award for his project titled, "Multi-modality evaluation of high-risk coronary atherosclerotic plaque", to "develop methods for the non-invasive, quantitative evaluation of coronary artery disease in computed tomography angiography images."…

Dorian Durig presented a poster and gave an oral talk titled "Nanobubble-Labeled CAR-T Cell Tracking via Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound: Assessing Biodistribution and Kinetics" at the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) conference. Dorian is mentored by Agata Exner, PhD and David Wald, MD, PhD.

Lead researcher Dr. Satish Viswanath and his colleagues recently received VA Merit Award funding for their project that is developing new image-based Artificial Intelligence tools for personalized medicine in rectal cancers.

Kaustav Bera received a Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 1-year Research Resident Grant for the project, "MR Fingerprinting for the Evaluation of Chronic Allograft Nephropathy: Reproducibility of the Technique and Correlation With Renal Function and Histopathology." Bera's mentors are Dr. Sree Tirumani and Dr. Yong Chen from…

Susann Brady-Kalnay, PhD, Professor, Molecular Biology and Microbiology, Neurosciences, and Pathology, CWRU School of Medicine, received funding from The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation for her work titled "Use of magnetic resonance fingerprinting for determining response to immunotherapy in pediatric brain tumors."

News 5 Cleveland highlighted the work of Satish Viswanath, CCIR member and associate professor, BME at CWRU about a new NIH and NCI grant to continue research in AI to treat rectal cancer. "It's been a long time coming to get to this stage where, we can validate it on a larger scale," Viswanath said.
