Dr. Dhairya A. Lakhani conducted the work for which the award was given during an away rotation at Mayo Clinic in Florida under the mentorship of Dr. Erik H Middlebrooks.
The prize is $1,000. Dr. Lakhani will also be invited to present his research at the 15th American Society of Functional Neuroradiology meeting which will be held August 27-30, 2022 in Maui, Hawaii.
The ASFNR John L. Ulmer Translational Trainee Award was created to honor the memory of John L. Ulmer. Dr. Ulmer, a radiology professor and chief of neuroradiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin and a past president of the ASFNR, was a physician-scientist with a passion for education and clinical translation of advanced neuroimaging techniques to clinical practice.
As such, the ASFNR John L. Ulmer Award is meant for a trainee (neuroradiology fellow, radiology or nuclear medicine resident, medical student, graduate student or undergraduate student) and to reward a research project that will contribute to the clinical translation of advanced neuroimaging techniques.
