Match Day, March 15, 2007

Stacey Crawford, MD, MBA, Dartmouth Medical School
Stacey Crawford is the daughter of a radiologist and will be the first woman to graduate from Dartmouth with a joint MD/MBA degree. While at Dartmouth, she conceived and developed their mini-MBA program for medical students. She also worked on a tele-ultrasound project and tested it in Central America.

Albert Hsiao, MD, PhD, University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine
Albert Hsiao studied biology and computer science at Caltech before entering the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of California, San Diego. His PhD in bioengineering and his work in bioinformatics earned him several prizes, including a Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) trainee research prize. This year, as a visiting student on our cardiovascular imaging (CVI) rotation, he took to the computer graphics TeraRecon workstation like a fish to water. In his interview with me, he confessed that even as a child he would reprogram his video games to make them run faster. Albert hopes to contribute both to our image processing group in the 3D lab and the bioinformatics efforts of Dr. Gambhir's Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS).

Michael Kim, MD, Joan & Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Michael Kim is originally from New Jersey and studied genetics and microbiology at Rutgers before entering Cornell Medical College. He is the founder of the Cornell Radiology interest group. Michael worked on the neuroradiology service with Dr. Atlas as a visiting medical student, and we are delighted he decided to come and join us for residency.

Deborah Lee, MD, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles
Deborah Lee grew up in southern California and graduated as salutatorian of her undergraduate class at the University of Southern California, achieving the highest GPA of any woman student. At UCLA medical school, she did research on pancreatic cancer and traumatic brain injury, as well as work on protein folding. She is a big Martin Scorcese fan and is delighted to be moving to the Bay Area and closer to her sister who works at Guidant.

Jared Narvid, MD, University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine
Jared Narvid was a Russian and Eastern European studies major at Yale before embarking on a neuroimaging fellowship in Washington DC in the year before medical school. As a medical student at the University of California, San Francisco, he has conducted neuroanatomic studies of face recognition in patients with neurodegenerative diseases.

Srihari Sampath, MD, PhD, Joan & Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University (on left) and Srinath Sampath, MD, PhD, Joan & Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University (on right)
Srinath and Srihari Sampath are twin brothers originally from southern California. Both have already attracted notice at the national level for their brilliant work in different fields of molecular genetics. At Stanford, they hope to contribute to the Molecular Imaging Program--as well as to our intramural basketball team.

Anobel Tamrazi, MD, PhD, University of Illinois College of Medicine at Urbana-Champaign
Anobel Tamrazi and his family were Christian refugees who fled Iran and eventually settled in the Bay Area. After attending San Jose State University, Anobel entered the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he researched the fluorescent labeling of estrogen receptors. During medical school, he worked in Dr. Gambhir's lab as a visiting student, and he hopes to continue that work during residency.

Amy White, MD, Georgetown University School of Medicine
Amy White is a former competitive cyclist and Olympic hopeful who now applies her considerable energies to the radiology realm. As a medical student at Georgetown, she worked on several manuscripts and grants in interventional radiology and was a winner of the RSNA student research award.
