October 2025 - Dr. Negar Omidvari Joins the Department of Radiology as an Assistant Professor

Great news! The UC Davis Department of Radiology has a new faculty member and it's none other than our very own Dr. Negar Omidvari. As of October 2025, she has joined the Department of Radiology as an Assistant Professor. Her research group — the Omidvari Molecular Imaging and Quantification (OMIQ) Laboratory — is focused on quantitative total-body PET imaging of the immune system, with three newly funded studies on long-COVID, non-small cell lung cancer, and Alzheimer’s disease that use dynamic imaging of the [18F]F-AraG tracer for evaluating T cell activation and beyond! We congratulate her on the new position! We look forward to her exciting contributions to our research field.
