Chair’s Message
Dear Colleagues,
Our department has had an extraordinary year of growth, driven in part by the 17 faculty members who have or will soon join our ranks. In the following pages you will see brief bios of each of our new faculty, many of whom are beginning their careers with us. We look forward to their joining us and to helping cultivate their success as clinicians, educators, researchers and thought leaders.

For the nine faculty members who received academic promotions this year, we take great pride in their past and present achievements and honor their work, their contributions to our missions and to our community, and their dedication to excellence. Achieving the goals set for promotion in academic medicine is a significant accomplishment, and we are thrilled to celebrate these milestones.
Four faculty members received accolades for their contributions to mentoring, volunteer service, clinical excellence, and teaching, and one alumnus was recognized for exemplifying the department’s legacy in the greater radiology community. Each award winner demonstrates a sustained commitment to UCSF and acknowledging these faculty for their distinction is a great reminder of our purpose.
Three faculty members retired, and one emeritus faculty member has departed the reading room after 10 years on recall. While it’s impossible to adequately sum up more than a century of collective experience and expertise in a few words, let me say that we are profoundly grateful for your service. We know that scores of trainees whom you’ve mentored and guided are now reprising your wisdom in various settings around the world. Enjoy your retirement!
The culture, community and values of the UCSF Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging come together to create an environment where all faculty flourish and experience success at every career stage. The faculty profiled here stand out as individual stories of success within the greater narrative of a storied history of excellence. Please join me in celebrating their accomplishments.
