Zhaoyang Fan, PhD, will join the faculty of the Keck School of Medicine of USC as an associate professor with the departments of radiology and radiation oncology of radiology, starting Nov. 2, 2020.<\/p>\n

Previously, he served as associate professor of biomedical sciences at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los\u00a0Angeles, where he was also technical director of the 3-Tesla MRI in its Research Imaging Core.<\/p>\n

Fan is an internationally recognized magnetic resonance imaging physicist, with a focus on developing new techniques to see within the body using magnetic fields and then translating those advances to improve patient care. At the Keck School of Medicine, he seeks to help cultivate further excellence in biomedical science.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are unique opportunities at USC,\u201d he said. \u201cWhile building my own lab, I also want to take the lead in developing a\u00a0state-of-the-art, nationally recognized MRI research program that is a national leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

Applying his innovations for early detection of cardiovascular disease, Fan has created methods to identify narrowing of the arteries, thickening of vessel walls and blood clots in the veins \u2014 without administering a contrast agent, which can trigger allergies in some patients. For hardening of the carotid artery, Fan devised a 3D technique that produces results within 5 minutes.<\/p>\n

One of Fan\u2019s current projects pushes forward stroke care with the first-ever system for whole-brain imaging. He and his colleagues are gathering information about the MRI-based technology\u2019s benefits in managing stroke patients through a multicenter clinical research registry. Other studies relate to imaging the structures and dynamics in the brain involved in multiple sclerosis, Parkinson\u2019s disease and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

Fan sees himself as well-positioned to collaborate widely with his peers at USC, thanks both to MRI\u2019s many applications and to his own experience spanning basic and translational investigations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a physicist, I know how MR imaging can help answer basic questions, but I also aim my research at solving clinical problems,\u201d he said. \u201cI look forward to being the person who can bridge that gap, at the Keck School and on the University Park campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Ryu, MD, professor and chair of Radiology, echoed this sentiment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all delighted to have Dr. Fan join the Department of Radiology,\u201d he said. \u201cZhaoyang is a renowned imaging scientist who will help promote and cultivate scientific inquiry, not only within the department but across the entire institution. We are also very fortunate to have his unique expertise to optimize our clinical magnetic resonance imaging program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside USC associate professor of clinical radiation oncology Wensha Yang, Fan is pursuing ways for using MRI technology to aid in targeting radiotherapy for gastrointestinal cancers, as well as evaluating the success of chemotherapy.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Fan is a highly talented imaging researcher who will bring a wealth of expertise in the application of novel MR sequences in radiation therapy as a new research area in medical physics,\u201d said Eric Chang, MD, professor and chair of Radiation Oncology. \u201cAll radiation therapy is currently image-guided, so any novel imaging technique that will enhance our ability to \u2018see the tumor\u2019 should lead to better targeting of the tumor, with potentially improved patient outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fan has published nearly 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and more than 200 conference abstracts. His inventions have garnered four patents, with four more pending. He is the principal investigator or co-PI on three active grants from the National Institutes of Health totaling more than $4\u00a0million.<\/p>\n

He first joined Cedars-Sinai as a postdoctoral fellow in 2011, becoming an assistant professor there in 2013 and receiving a promotion to associate professor earlier this year. Since 2017, Fan has also been an assistant professor-in-residence at UCLA, with appointments in medicine and bioengineering. He earned his doctoral degree in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University in 2010 and a master\u2019s degree in medical physics from McMaster University in Canada in 2006.<\/p>\n

Fan has been elected a fellow of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance and a junior fellow of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Medicine. He has served as a distinguished reviewer for Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Medicine and the Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
