August 21, 2015
The World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS) announced that Sanjiv Sam Gambhir, MD, PhD has been named president-elect for 2017. Dr. Gambhir will serve on the board of directors starting at the 2015 World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC) meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii until his term begins September 10th, 2016 during the WMIC meeting in New York City.
The World Molecular Imaging Society is an international scientific educational organization dedicated to the understanding of biology and medicine through multimodal in vivo imaging of cellular and molecular events involved in normal and pathologic processes and utilization of quantitative molecular imaging in patient care.
The World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS) was established in 2011 by integrating the Academy of Molecular Imaging and the Society for Molecular Imaging into a single streamlined society focused on advancing the field of molecular imaging (MI). Within a relatively short time, the WMIS has significantly expanded its global footprint in this field by building and expanding upon existing strengths and infrastructures of these two organizations.
Congratulations, Dr. Gambhir!
