Dr. Ross is the Director of the Center for Molecular Imaging at the University of Michigan, which provides state-of-the-art imaging services for the research community and offering a broad range of imaging systems (two IVIS bioluminescent/fluorescent imaging systems, an Agilent 7 Tesla horizontal bore MRI system, a Siemens PET/CT, a Trifoil Imaging SPECT/CT, and a Bruker CT system). As part of CMI, his research helps to develop applications for imaging to allow for investigations of cancer growth and response to therapy including noninvasive detection of molecular signaling events in living tissue. Dr. Gambhir served as the Director of the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford (MIPS) and Canary Center at Stanford for Cancer Early Detection. He has authored over 600 publications, has over 40 patents pending or granted, has been featured on the cover of over 25 journals including the Nature Series, Science, and Science Translational Medicine. He was on the editorial board of several journals including Nano Letters, Nature Clinical Practice Oncology, and Science Translational Medicine. He mentored post-doctoral fellows and graduate students from diverse disciplines. His research focused on the development of imaging assays to monitor fundamental cellular/molecular events in living subjects with an emphasis on the detection and management of cancer. A particular interest of his research and lab was early cancer detection including combining in vivo and in vitro diagnostics.
