Impact Statements
Foundation of the ASNR Grant Program – Nancy Pham
Integrating functional MR perfusion biomarkers with genomic plasma EBV-DNA and 18FDG-PET/CT metabolic parameters can potentially improve tumor staging, prognostication, and surveillance beyond the traditional AJCC TNM staging system alone. The Foundation grant proved instrumental in my development as a clinician-scientist. It will support 12 months of dedicated research time, enabling me to collect crucial data for my research on NPC. This data has already directly contributed to my ability to secure additional grant funding. This early success strengthens my resolve to bridge the gap between clinical practice and scientific advancement
Foundation of the ASNR Grant Program – Licia Luna
This grant has provided me with the opportunity to conduct a comprehensive multimodal investigation, enabling me to uncover the molecular and functional mechanisms underlying the link between post-traumatic stress disorder and cognitive decline… With the generous support of the Foundation, I am eager to continue investigating this interdisciplinary field, bridging functional MRI with molecular insights to enhance outcomes for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders… and motivated to leverage our findings to secure additional funding. Your ongoing support is essential as we strive to make meaningful strides in patient care and address the challenges posed by cognitive and psychiatric conditions.
Foundation of the ASNR Grant Program – Peter Kamel
I am incredibly thankful and appreciative of the Foundation of the ASNR in support of my early career. The time afforded by the grant has been instrumental in allowing me to pursue the research I am passionate about. Through the support of the grant, we have been able to perform cutting edge artificial intelligence research in stroke imaging, developing machine learning models to improve the detection and localization of early ischemic infarcts on CT by training on MRI results. The work has already led to multiple presentations, paper submissions, and grant applications with the potential to impact patient care. This would not have been possible at all without the support of the Foundation of the ASNR.
Foundation of the ASNR Grant Program – Virginia Hill
I am so grateful for this grant supporting research in meningiomas, the most common primary intracranial tumor. Given two identical appearing meningiomas, one will grow while the other will eventually kill the patient. Radiomics will be able to differentiate between aggressive and “quiet” meningiomas noninvasively. Eventually, we will be able to use the AI analysis to noninvasively predict molecular markers and DNA methylation subtypes and choose appropriate, personalized treatment that will improve patient quality of life and survival.
This grant provides essential support to early researchers. It is an investment that will pay off in future, larger projects that will fuel our endeavors to improve patient safety, make treatments more effective, and improve patients’ lives.
Women in Neuroradiology Leadership Award – Nikdokht (Niky) Farid
Thank you again for the Women in Neuroradiology Leadership Award and the opportunity to attend the RLI Summit in Boston. I found the meeting to be highly educational and inspirational. I had an opportunity to meet and network with many academic and private practice radiologists from across the country. I am certain that the tools I learned about the business and finances of radiology, the art of negotiation, and leadership skills will be extremely useful to me in my career.
