[BIC-announce] New core support staff: PET Unit

[Sylvain Baillet, Dr]

Dear All:

It is my great pleasure to announce the recruitment of  Dr. Paul Gravel as Research Assistant at the BIC's PET core unit.

Paul obtained his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at McGill University in 2015 (A. Reader's lab). He also received an M.Sc. in Neurological Sciences from McGill in 2008, and holds a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering with Computer Engineering major from the University of New-Brunswick.

Paul’s interests and expertise are in PET image acquisition and reconstruction, with an emphasis on radiotracer kinetic modeling and statistical parametric mapping (SPM).

At the BIC, Paul will contribute developments in PET image quantification using direct 4D PET reconstruction techniques. Very importantly, his primary mission is to provide training, assistance and expertise to all users of BIC's high-resolution, conventional and micro-PET scanners. Investigators and trainees seeking expert advice on PET image analysis shall contact Paul directly <paul.gravel2 at mail.mcgill.ca<mailto:paul.gravel2 at mail.mcgill.ca>> and CC Andrew Reader <andrew.reader at mcgill.ca<mailto:andrew.reader at mcgill.ca>>. New PET investigators are encouraged to contact Jean-Paul Soucy <jean-paul.soucy at mcgill.ca<mailto:jean-paul.soucy at mcgill.ca>> and Gassan Massarweh <gassan.massarweh at mcgill.ca<mailto:gassan.massarweh at mcgill.ca>> for tracer availability and study feasibility.
