As part of our celebration of Postdoc Appreciation Week, we invited two postdocs, Minhao Zhou, PhD, and Tamara Vasilkovska, MD, PhD, to answer a few questions about their work and their time at UCSF.
Each year, we are proud to recognize department members who receive research funding from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). This year’s grant recipients include three medical students, two residents, one postdoctoral fellow, and three faculty members.
Vanitha Sankaranarayanan stood in awe, in the operating room, as she observed as a neurosurgeon perform brain surgery guided by critical information from a diffusion tenser imaging (DTI) brain scan – the type of image she creates – illuminating the brain’s essential motor pathways and where they were in relation to the tumor. “It was inspiring to see that what I am doing is crucial,” says Sankaranarayanan, an image analysis and visualization lead at UCSF’s 3D Lab. She observed this surgery shortly after she joined the lab in 2009, and it has influenced her work ever since.
