Every IR triages cases differently: IR finally has a consensus triage framework. Three Delphi rounds, 63 attendings across academic, private, and community practice, 34 procedures scored by priority tier and target timing. Useful if you’re writing call protocols.
Our latest NIH-funded research on antibody-conjugated microbubbles just published with @SpringerNature in Molecular Imaging and Biology, led by our very own James Hui, MD, PhD and Yonghwan Shin, PhD @RadiologyUcla @UCLAHealthJCCC @UCLAstemcell @NIBIBgov @NIH

Honored to be featured in @RSNA's Foundation Focus. The Research Scholar Grant was my first grant as an early-career faculty member, and a springboard for our work combining ablation with NK cell therapy. We're grateful for the support of @RadiologyUcla and @RSNA.

How would you cryoablate this pulmonary lesion?
Grab a bone drill! 🦴 @LucasRCmd demonstrates that the transsternal approach can be safe and effective!

Proud to welcome @sitcancer to #SIOSavannah! Today's SIO Meets SITC: Beyond Liver Biomarkers session explored intratumoral therapies, immuno-oncology integration, and case-based clinical learning. Looking forward to more collaboration in 2026 at the NEXT Summit in May.
Thanks for hosting! This was an amazing opportunity to bounce ideas off of current leaders in IR innovation
Yesterday at #SIOSavannah, SIO’s Research Steering Committee brought the Lab Meeting Series together in person for the first time. With presentations from Lobna Elkhadragy, PhD, and Jason Chiang, MD, PhD, the session marked an important milestone for #IO research collaboration.

Here's the first paper that led to this prize: the discovery of regulatory T cells in 1995!
BREAKING NEWS
The 2025 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”

Honored to share that our lab has received an @NIH @NIBIBgov Trailblazer award to study antibody-drug-conjugate labeled microbubbles - yet tough to celebrate fully knowing that many @UCLA federal grants have recently been suspended. Progress requires support!

Impressive work from the @TTu_Nguyen and the @uclaVIR team! @StevenSRaman_MD @PedramMD @VatcheAgopianMD @UCLAstemcell @UCLAHealthJCCC @RadiologyUcla @JVIRmedia @SocietyAbdRad
A new UCLA study may explain why some liver tumors return after heat-based treatment. Researchers found that a protein, Galectin-1, helps cancer cells survive and regrow. Blocking it could make therapy more effective and reduce recurrence.
