Jeremy Gordon, PhD
Dr. Jeremy Gordon, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging. He received his BS in Physics & Astronomy from the University of Georgia in 2008 and his PhD in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2013. He has been
at UCSF since 2013, first as a postdoctoral scholar working with Dr. Peder Larson (2013 - 2016) and then as a Senior Bioengineer (2016 - 2020) before joining the faculty in 2020.
His research is focused on developing novel techniques to acquire and analyze metabolic information, leveraging a team science approach to advance the research and clinical care of patients utilizing hyperpolarized 13C and other x-nuclei such as 2H for a wide range of diseases. These methods are currently being applied in patients with pancreatic cancer as a novel tool to predict treatment response using hyperpolarized metabolic imaging, to characterize metabolic changes associated with multiple sclerosis using hyperpolarized metabolic imaging, and to develop new methods of measuring glucose metabolism in vivo and its impairment in Alzheimer’s Disease using deuterium metabolic imaging.
