The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, United States
Jingfei Ma, Ph.D., DABR, is Professor of Imaging Physics at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. He is the director of the MR Applications Laboratory and serves as the primary physics support for the Abdominal and Breast MR sections.
He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1991 and joined GE Medical Systems first as an Applications Engineer in 1996 and then promoted to a Senior Scientist in 1999. He began his career in MD Anderson as an Assistant Professor in Diagnostic Radiology in 2001 and became board-certified in Diagnostic Radiological Physics by the American Board of Radiology in 2003. He was promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure in 2005 and to Professor in 2011.
His primary research interests are in the development of novel MRI techniques and clinical applications, particularly in phase-sensitive MRI, motion management, and functional MRI (e.g., DWI, DCE-MRI, MRS) for improved detection, assessment and early prediction of treatment efficacy of cancer. He is an inventor of over 20 US patents and an author of over 60 journal publications. Several of his MRI techniques have been commercialized and in worldwide routine clinical use. He has been an active collaborator with radiologists, oncologists, imaging physicists, and industry. He has been invited to many international and national conferences as well as outside institutions. He also has been a supervisor to junior faculty/staff, postdoctoral fellows, and students, and has twice received commendation from the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences for his contribution to education.
