The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Research & Education (R&E) Foundation awarded its 2023 Strategic Radiology/RSNA Research Resident Grant to Wenhui Zhou, MD, PhD. This grant is made possible by Strategic Radiology’s support of the RSNA R&E Foundation.
OAK BROOK, Ill. , Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Research & Education (R&E) Foundation awarded its 2023 Strategic Radiology/RSNA Research Resident Grant to Wenhui Zhou, MD, PhD. This grant is made possible by Strategic Radiology’s support of the RSNA R&E Foundation.
The Strategic Radiology/RSNA Research Resident Grant provides $50,000 for one year to a top resident to devote 50% of their time for a research project under the guidance of a scientific advisor. Through this project, residents can learn about scientific investigation and develop competence in research techniques.
Wenhui Zhou, M.D., Ph.D., Stanford University, will identify multimodal biomarkers that can accurately predict which patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) will harbor occult invasive breast cancer, which will personalize and optimize patient care by reducing both undertreatment and overtreatment of biopsy-proven DCIS.
The RSNA R&E Foundation Board of Trustees approved funding for 83 grants in 2023 valued at over $4.7 million. “The RSNA R&E Foundation greatly appreciates the generosity of Strategic Radiology, because of this commitment, the RSNA R&E Foundation is able to continue strong support for research innovation and education that elevates our specialty and positions radiology as an essential partner in improving patient outcomes and clinical care,” said Satoshi Minoshima, MD, PhD, Chair of the RSNA R&E Foundation Board of Trustees.
“Our members proudly support the RSNA Research & Education Foundation and its important work in seeding the next generation of radiological research,” said Scott Bundy, MD, FACR. “We wish Dr. Zhou a fruitful inquiry as he attempts to improve medical imaging’s predictive value in assessing DCIS.” The grant is the fourth of 20 seed grants that will be awarded as a result of an $800,000 endowment by members of Strategic Radiology.
