    Dr. Vikas Gulani is the Fred J. Hodges Professor, Chair of the Department of Radiology at the University of Michigan, and co-Director of the Michigan Institute of Imaging Technology and Translation (MIITT). He is committed to a collaborative, diverse, and friendly work environment where people are valued above all else, and yet clinical, research, and teaching excellence is expected. He trained in Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and then did his MD and PhD at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. After Internship in Internal Medicine at the University of Illinois, he completed his residency in Diagnostic Radiology and fellowship training in Body MRI from the University of Michigan, and also a postdoctoral year in Physics at the University of Würzburg in Germany. His clinical interests are abdominal and pelvic MRI, and MRI guided intervention. Research interests are diverse and include the same, plus MRI technology development and translation, quantitative MRI, fast MRI, amongst other areas.
