• Bob introduced Ivan Pedrosa, MD PhD, Assistant Professor of Radiology at BIDMC who will replaced Neil Rofsky (who left to be the Chairman of Radiology at UT Southwestern). Ivan is an abdominal imager, he is involved in several clinical trials (mainly MRI) and has done a lot of research on new MRI techniques.
• Randy introduced Doug Greve, PhD, Instructor in radiology, MGH. he is a new consultant for our program, his expertise is in image analysis.

2. Consultations

• We had a couple of new consultations this week, all requested a specific consultant.

3. Rountable on clinical and applications of imaging

• The Research Navigators have started a series of roundtables that are designed to bring investigators with disparate research interests together around a C/T topic. The topics are intended to highlight some of the resources available for biomedical researchers throughout Harvard. Sometime this Fall, they would like to host a discussion about an area of biomedical imaging.
  • Valerie will follow up with Ann to learn more about that event (audience, how is it different from our education series etc).

4. Pilot grant: planning follow-up with PI's who were not funded
