March 2025 - Negar Omidvari Honored with Excellence in Research Award
Dr. Negar Omidvari, Assistant Project Scientist in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, has been recognized with the UC Davis Academic Federation Excellence in Research Award for her groundbreaking contributions to total-body PET imaging. Negar’s research focuses on using dynamic PET imaging to study the immune system, including mapping T-cell distribution in the human body. Her work has provided insights into immune response and memory, particularly in COVID-19 patients. She was also the first to apply a CD8-targeted radiotracer in this context, contributing to advancements in infectious disease imaging. Her findings were published in Science Advances.
Congratulations, Negar, on this achievement!
