We are pleased to announce that Ms. Umi Nabilah Ismail has been awarded an Early Career Medical Physicists Scholarship Award by the Winter Institute of Medical Physics for her work in investigating the feasibility of marrow adipose tissue quantification using MRI as a biomarker for β-thalassemia.
Ms. Umi Nabilah Ismail is one of the top four individuals selected to be included in the “Class of 2021 Early Career Scholars” in the meeting.
She is a second-year PhD student in the Department of Biomedical Imaging, Faculty of Medicine, supervised by Dr Azlan Che Ahmad, Prof Ng Kwan Hoong (Dept. Biomedical Imaging) and Dr Shasha Khairullah (Dept. of Medicine).
Of the many applicants, 18 early career medical physicists from 15 countries were chosen to present their projects in the final round of the competition at the virtual 2021 Winter Institute of Medical Physics meeting.
The annual Winter Institute of Medical physics is a US professional meeting for researchers and professionals in the medical physics field. One of the core goals of the meeting is to support early career medical physicists with a diverse array of scholarship and mentoring opportunities.
