Elima Hussain
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Elima is working on developing and optimizing rapid dual-contrast PET/MRI protocols for the comprehensive staging and assessment of rectal cancer. She is working on integrating deep learning-based algorithms for image reconstruction and motion correction. This protocol aims to reduce the patient scan times. She believes this innovative approach can potentially replace multiple imaging exams with a single, efficient scan, benefiting both patients and healthcare systems. Apart from this, her research interests also include translation of quantitative MRI and PET/MRI, radiomics, machine learning for predicting treatment response in rectal cancer, gynecologic malignancies, and inflammatory bowel diseases.

Carly E. Jones
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioCarly completed her BASc in Engineering Physics (UBC) in 2017. She began the MASc program in Biomedical Engineering at UBC in 2017 and transferred into the PhD program in the spring of 2019. Carly successfully defended her PhD thesis in July of 2024 and began a Postdoctoral Fellowship at Stanford University in September of 2024 in the Radiology Department. Carly received the Young Investigator Award from the International Society of Osteoarthritis Imaging in 2019 for her work on cartilage health in hips with bone marrow lesions. She is also a passionate educator and received a Killam Graduate TA Award in 2021 for her TA work in the Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering Departments at UBC.

Kathryn (Katie) Kapp
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in using mass spectrometry to study protein glycosylation, a complex post-translational modification that is known to be heavily altered in cancer. Protein glycosylation could improve early cancer detection. I am using mass spectrometry to study protein glycosylation in a variety of clinical samples and cancers, but I am particularly interested in proximal fluid samples to develop sources of less invasive biomarkers.

Donghoon Kim
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
BioDr. Donghoon Kim is a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford's Center for Advanced Functional Neuroimaging. His research focuses on developing cutting-edge techniques for analyzing multimodal neuroimaging using deep learning-based methods.
Before joining Stanford, he earned his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from University of California, Davis. His Ph.D. thesis was titled "Deep Learning-Driven Technical Developments and Clinical Applications of Arterial Spin Labeling MRI". During his Ph.D. studies, he focused on the development of advanced deep learning techniques for ASL MRI, and its clinical applications. During his master's degree in Biomedical Engineering at Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University, he studied the functional connectivity of the default mode network using resting state BOLD fMRI among youth football players. -
Manoj Kumar
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI work on imaging-guided therapy using PET and MR imaging approaches. My academic training and background is in molecular imaging. During my doctoral training, I developed and validated a PET imaging approach for evaluating endocrine therapy responses in advanced breast cancer. My current research focuses on imaging tumor immune markers and responses to cancer immunotherapy. The goal is to develop new imaging toolboxes to monitor and guide treatment. Specifically, I employ antibodies, nanoparticles, and reporter genes for imaging and combinations of therapies to modulate and restore the body's suppressed immune functions against cancer cells. This is being done in collaboration with teams of researchers in early clinical development and teams in clinical practice.
