The research fellowship prepares you to lead the future of image-guided research through rigorous training, mentorship and multidisciplinary collaboration. 

You’ll get to explore gene therapy, imaging technology, embolization techniques and cancer treatments, as well as research using real-world clinical data. Through multiple clinical trials, you'll study new devices and therapies that help move innovations from the lab into clinical practice. You’ll: 

• Train in dedicated research labs with multidisciplinary collaborators and active clinical trials
• Develop expertise in image-guided innovation and outcomes research
• Design and lead translational, device and clinical research studies
• Publish in peer-reviewed journals and present internationally
• Build a competitive portfolio for academic interventional radiology careers
• Prepare for roles in academic IR and physician-scientist leadership 

Training covers both research and clinical settings. You’ll explore new ways to treat disease using minimally invasive, live-image techniques, including: 

• Image-guided translational cancer therapy research
• Data-driven clinical research using real-world datasets
• Projects aligned with ongoing clinical trials 

Most of your fellowship will involve mentored research within active laboratories and clinical research programs. You can design your training path to align with your interests. Research areas include:   

• Device development and preclinical testing
• Interventional oncology
• Intervention for portal hypertension
• Outcomes and health services research
• Translational laboratory science 

Observational clinical exposure helps you translate research discoveries into real patient care. Training opportunities may include: 

• Interventional oncology
• Intervention for portal hypertension
• Embolization therapies
• Interventional oncology
• Intervention for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) 

Both the six-month and year training fellowship combines formal instruction with hands-on research. You’ll develop skills in: 

• Research design and biostatistics
• Clinical trial development
• Regulatory pathways and device commercialization
• Grant writing and manuscript preparation
• Presentation skills and national meeting preparation 

You’ll also take part in multidisciplinary conferences and departmental research seminars that encourage collaboration across specialties. 

You’ll train with IR faculty advancing minimally invasive, image-guided medicine through research. They publish widely and lead studies that improve patient care. These include clinical trials, translational research and data-driven outcomes studies. Their work spans: 

• Interventional oncology
• Intervention for portal hypertension
• Intervention for DVT and PE
• Device innovation
• Translational cancer research
• Other clinical outcome research 

We accept applications on a rolling basis. To qualify, you must complete or be eligible for an ACGME-accredited radiology residency program (or equivalent).
