Guest Name and Bio:
Dr. David Karow
David S. Karow, M.D., Ph.D.,President and Chief Innovation
Officer at Human Longevity Inc, is an innovative leader who brings
more than 10 years of experience in advance MR Imaging and genomics
analytics. Dr. Karow’s primary interest is to develop
machine-learning based integrated diagnostics that leverage
imaging, genetics, and clinical biomarkers to generate more
insightful health assessments and identify disease in early stages
when it is most treatable.
Before joining HLI, Dr. Karow was the Director of Body MRI and
Director of Acute Care Imaging in the Department of Radiology at
the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego), where he
still maintains an appointment as an Associate Professor. During
his times at UC San Diego he implemented advanced diffusion-based
methods that proved beneficial for the detection and in vivo
characterization of prostate tumors. The work has yielded multiple
published papers and led to multiple federal and private research
grants on which Dr. Karow was the Principle Investigator. Dr. Karow
is compiling data showing that these techniques may be useful for
the screening and staging of cancer across the whole body including
breast cancer.
Dr. Karow completed his fellowship in advanced body imaging at
University of California, Los Angeles. Prior to fellowship, he
completed his residency in diagnostic radiology at UC San Diego.
His research during residency was recognized with multiple awards,
including the 2011 Elliott C. Lasser Award for Excellence in
Research; 2009 American Roentgen Ray Society Executive Council
Award; the 2008 RSNA Trainee Research Prize; and his work was also
featured on the cover of the September 2010 issue of the journal
RADIOLOGY. Prior to residency, Dr. Karow completed his medical
training at the University of Michigan medical school in the
combined M.D./Ph.D. Medical Scientist Training Program, graduating
with a distinction in research.
