Speakers

T32 Program – Biomedical Imaging for Clinician Scientist
UCSF Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging

The Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging has a long record of excellence in clinical and academic radiology, and has one of the largest research enterprises funded through intra- and extramural funding and private donors. With numerous outstanding basic scientists and clinicians engaged in innovative imaging research across five principal campus units, the department provides a fertile ground for interdisciplinary collaboration. The T32 program exists to jumpstart the academic careers of junior radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians and to provide the essential foundation for developing a research program as an independent investigator.
