Stacy Lab Nationwide Children's Hospital

Research in the lab is focused on the development and validation of quantitative imaging techniques that allow for characterization of cardiovascular diseases and vascular remodeling. Of particular interest is PET imaging of skeletal muscle perfusion and PET-based molecular imaging of vascular biology.

The lab utilizes multiple imaging modalities, which include clinical and microPET/CT, CT angiography, and ultrasound. The lab is equipped with a variety of image processing workstations, which include dedicated software for PET/CT image analysis, ANSYS for computational modeling research, dedicated tools for ultrasound image analysis, and a dedicated angiography workstation. Experimental work and training will be focused on pre-clinical models of vascular disease (small and large animal) and clinical cardiovascular imaging. Clinical imaging projects will be conducted in collaboration with The Ohio State University College of Medicine and additional pediatric hospitals across the United States.

Candidates should be highly motivated with an interest in biomedical imaging, vascular biology, and/or skeletal muscle biology. Also required are excellent written and verbal communication skills, as the position will involve participation in manuscript and grant writing.
