Professor
University of California, San Francisco
David Saloner, PhD, is a Professor in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, and Director of the Vascular and Cardiac Research Group at the University of California, San Francisco. He is also the Director and Founder of the Vascular Imaging Research Center at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Dr. Saloner obtained his BSc in Physics, Math, and Applied Math from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa and he completed a BSc in Theoretical Physics, and an MSc in Nuclear Physics from the same institution. This was followed by the Dr.rer.nat in Nuclear Physics from Karl-Ruprecht University in Heidelberg, Germany. Dr. Saloner then completed a postdoc at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a retraining fellowship in Medical Imaging at Wake Forest School of Medicine in North Carolina.
Dr. Saloner’s research program focuses on the study of cardiovascular diseases using radiological imaging methods. Dr. Saloner and his colleagues pursue a variety of approaches in order to understand atherosclerotic and aneurysmal vascular disease. Projects include numerical simulations, phantom studies, and longitudinal in vivo studies of vascular evolution over time. Particular topics of interest include the impact of hemodynamics on disease progression, and the identification of markers of inflammation as they relate to vascular dysfunction.
