Research & Education Retreat 2009
On Thursday, March 26, 2009, the Partners Radiology Research and Education Committees hosted the Partners Radiology Research and Education Retreat. The target audience for this year was residents, fellows, and researchers at BWH and MGH to promote their research activities, to encourage collaboration between junior and senior researchers at both the BWH and MGH. The objective of the retreat was to help make our Partners researchers more aware of resources available to them throughout and beyond Partners. This retreat also highlighted a number of researchers’ accomplishments.
Our keynote speaker was Jonathan Lewin, MD, who is the Martin Donner Professor and Chairman of the Russell H. Morgan Department of Radiology and Radiological Science at Johns Hopkins University, and the Radiologist-in-Chief at Johns Hopkins Hospital, with secondary appointments as Professor of Oncology, Neurosurgery, and Biomedical Engineering. We are thrilled to report that over 100 people attended the retreat and that the feedback was highly positive. We would like to thank everyone who made this such an informative and worthwhile event!

Awarding the 2009 Radiology Research Grant
The Partners Radiology Research Committee is pleased to announce that our 2009 Partners Radiology Research Award was granted to Michael Jerosch-Herold, Ph.D., from BWH and Lawrence Leroy Wald, M.A., PH.D., from MGH for their proposal "Novel Biomarkers of Plaque Inflammation from Ultra-High Resolution MRI". Their research proposal was based on various criteria including: depth of collaborative interaction between BWH and MGH researchers, the importance of the clinical problem being addressed, the team’s likelihood of receiving future funding if the project is successful, the impressive background of the investigators and the research environment, as well as the potential that the research study will achieve its goals. This was a competitive year with many impressive submissions involving some very well established researchers in their fields. Drs. Jerosch-Herold and Wald were formally presented with the award at the Partners Radiology Research Retreat on March 26, 2009, where they gave a presentation on the research proposal.
