Dr. Emilie Roncali is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Radiology (courtesy) at UC Davis. She received her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the Ecole Centrale de Paris, France before joining Dr. Simon Cherry’s group at UC Davis for her postdoctoral training. Dr. Roncali’s research involves molecular imaging and therapy, with an emphasis on quantitative dosimetry for radiopharmaceutical therapy and multiscale modeling. Dr. Roncali currently focuses her simulation developments on personalized dosimetry for liver transarterial embolization, theranostic digital twins, and Lu-177 dosimetry. Dr. Roncali is a member of two working groups for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and of the SNMMI AI Dosimetry taskforce to develop new dosimetry methods for radiopharmaceutical therapy with the goal of improving treatment planning and optimizing radiopharmaceutical therapy clinical trials. Her contributions to women in medical imaging sciences have been recognized in 2022 with the Faber award from the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).
