Hersh Chandarana is a professor of radiology and urology, physician-scientist, and Vice Chair of Innovation and Predictive Diagnostics in the department of radiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. He also serves as Principal Investigator and Director of the NIH-funded National Center for Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering. Through NIH- and foundation-supported research, he has helped develop advanced imaging methods to study abdominopelvic diseases. His team pioneered rapid, motion-robust MRI techniques, including free-breathing MRI for patients unable to hold their breath. His group integrates artificial intelligence into MRI acquisition and diagnostics not only for improved disease detection and risk prediction but to also make advance imaging more accessible. Hersh has authored over 190 papers and has delivered over 90 invited lectures.
