A new protocol to engineer CAR-T cells in situ and track efficacy through imaging
Katherine Ferrara and Nisi Zhang developed a method to bundle mRNA in lipid nanoparticles to generate CAR-T cells in the body, avoiding the complex and costly T-cell depletion step currently needed for CAR-T therapy. Imaging also showed enhanced cancer-killing effects with no toxicity in mice.
Stanford Radiology’s HBMC Summer Students Gaining Research Experience
Five students from the Stanford-HBMC Summer Program are diving into radiology research this summer under the mentorship of Radiology faculty. Their projects span across cancer screening to AI for imaging and novel diagnostics.
Stanford Radiology Honored at SNMMI 2025 Meeting
Stanford Radiology was recognized for excellence in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging at the SNMMI Annual Meeting, with Helen Nadel receiving the Presidential Service Award, Renesmee Kuo receiving the Brain Imaging Council Young Investigator Award, and Kip Guja recognized as the first place poster in the general clinical track.
Thomas Brosnan Receives Marsh O’Neill Award
Thomas Brosnan, a research scientist in RSL who has been with Radiology for 34 years, was honored by the Office of the Vice Provost and Dean of Research (VPDoR) for his outstanding contributions and positive impact.
A game-changing way to treat stroke
Stanford Radiology researchers contributed to a new technology to remove blood clots that could significantly improve success rates in treating strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolisms, and other clot-related diseases.
Collaboration on Total-Body PET/CT with GE HealthCare
Stanford Radiology has renewed their research collaboration with GE HealthCare. Research towards total-body PET/CT imaging can help enable molecular diagnostics, accelerate research, and improve patient care.
LMIC Radiology Free Webinar Series Helps Connect Professionals Worldwide
A free Radiology webinar series was launched to provide high-quality, accessible education and real-world clinical insights.
Noninvasive Histotripsy Comes to Stanford Medicine
“This noninvasive approach may help treat liver tumors previously considered inoperable. It’s a game-changer for our patients and for interventional radiology in oncology.” - Dr. Gloria Hwang
Nano-scale biosensor lets scientists monitor molecules in real time
Inspired by intestinal mucosa, H. Tom Soh has created the SENSBIT system, a long-lasting biosensor that can track in vivo pharmacokinetics in real time.
2025 Graduate Student Research
Five of the graduate thesis projects are spotlighted here, spanning across new AI models to next-generation biosensors, targeted drug delivery vehicles, imaging the effect of absence seizures on epilepsy, and open-source analysis toolboxes for cardiac imaging.
