Assistant Professor
University of California Davis
Dr. Felipe Godinez received his B.S in mechanical engineering from the University of California Riverside (UCR, California, USA) in 2008, and completed his PhD in biomedical engineering at the University of California Davis (UCD, California, USA) in 2013, with a focus in medical imaging instrumentation for positron emission tomography (PET). As a post-doctoral fellow at UCD, in 2014, he received the Chancellor’s Fellowship Award from the Office of the President of the University of California. He arrived at King’s College London (KCL) in 2016 to work on developing a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system for safe imaging of interventional devices. Currently, he continues collaboration at KCL to develop an auxiliary multi-channel parallel transmit system for MRI.
Dr. Godinez’s research focuses on the development of novel in vivo medical imaging techniques, with emphasis on treating disease in the brain and the heart. The development of these techniques is enabled through fundamentally advancing MRI and PET imaging instrumentation, acquisition, and image and data processing. His most recent research include the use of novel transmit solutions, such as, parallel transmit MR and active tracking, for the safe visualization of endovascular devices. His interest is in interventional procedures in the heart and extending these methods to catheter infusions to treat cancer in the brain. He is also co-developing a PET insert for simultaneous PET/MR imaging in small animals. He is interested in the combined use of PET/MR to explore MR based therapeutic biomarkers in neuro-oncologic disease.
