Quan Zhou awarded the Alavi-Mandell Award from SNMMI

May 26, 2023

Quan Zhou, PhD, an Instructor in Neurosurgery Department and MIPS member, has been awarded the Alavi-Mandell Award from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) for her paper, Factors for Differential Outcome Across Cancers in Clinical Molecule-Targeted Fluorescence Imaging.

The Alavi-Mandell award was established by the Alavi and Mandell families to honor their fathers, who valued education immensely. Unfortunately, they did not have an opportunity to reach their potential to become physician scientists. The award is given to individuals who were the first author of a paper published in the JNM, were trainees at the time the published work was carried out, and made a major contribution to the completion of the work. The award is accompanied by a monetary reward, which is provided by the established fund. Their aim is to encourage young physicians and scientists to pursue a career in academic and research in nuclear medicine.

Congratulations, Dr. Zhou!
