Assistant Professor Katie Van Schaik, MD, PhD, has been awarded a seed grant from the Vanderbilt Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (VICTR) for her pilot study "Mechanistic Association of Epigenetic Bone Age and Frailty Measures with Bone Imaging Studies Using Novel Artificial Intelligence Approaches."
Using Vanderbilt’s ImageVU and BioVU resources, Dr. Van Schaik's pilot study will identify correlations between bone mineral density, as measured on opportunistically acquired CT exams, with DNA methylation measurements.
"I'm so grateful and excited to launch this new project with the assistance of VICTR's research award and with the support of the Department of Radiology," says Dr. Van Schaik.
Congratulations, Dr. Van Schaik!
