Sepideh Shokouhi from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Vania E. Kenanova from the University of California, Los Angeles, are recipients of the SNM Postdoctoral Molecular Imaging Scholar Program, which provides $60,000 for two years of research at institutions with established molecular imaging programs. Their respective research will focus on Alzheimer's disease and the targeted delivery of imaging or therapeutic agents.

"We are truly thrilled to offer these awards and deeply appreciative of the support of the donors who make this ground-breaking research a reality," said VanBrocklin.


The application deadline for SNM's 2009 Molecular Imaging Grants is December 5, 2008. More information about the awards is available at www.snm.org/grants. The 2009 applications will be available online later this summer.
