Elite AIMBE College of Fellows

February 8, 2012

David Saloner, PhD, Professor in Residence in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, and Director of the Vascular Imaging Research Center  at UCSF, has been elected to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) College of Fellows, Class of 2012. The AIMBE College of Fellows is comprised of the top two percent of medical and biological engineers in the country. Dr. Saloner was nominated by his peers for his outstanding contributions to advancing the quantitative imaging of vascular and cardiac biomechanics and function. A formal induction ceremony will be held during AIMBE’s 21st Annual Event in Washington, D.C. on February 20th, 2012. For further information on AIMBE please visit http://www.aimbe.org/

Dr. Saloner’s research career has focused on the evaluation of cardiovascular disease. He works together with collaborators from multiple disciplines and across most of the UCSF sites. He has had long-term extramural support from the NIH and other agencies to pursue multi-modality imaging in the evaluation of atherosclerosis and aneurysmal disease. A major theme of Dr. Saloner’s research is to investigate the links between underlying biomechanical and biochemical factors, principally hemodynamic forces, and disease progression as monitored by non-invasive longitudinal imaging.
