Overview
Kirti Magudia, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor of Radiology at Duke University School of Medicine. She completed fellowship in abdominal imaging and ultrasound at the University of California, San Francisco and Diagnostic Radiology Residency at Brigham & Women's Hospital. Her research centers on high-level applications of machine learning in radiology, including CT-based body composition analysis and prostate MR, which was facilitated by 7 dedicated months at the MGH/BWH Center for Clinical Data Science and a year long T32 research fellowship in the Biomedical Imaging for Clinical Scientists Program at UCSF. She was the founding resident chair of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Women in the Radiology Program and has extensively advocated for family-friendly trainee policies. Dr. Magudia is a graduate of the Tri-institutional MD/PhD program of Weill Cornell, Sloan-Kettering, and Rockefeller University, where she completed her Ph.D. in cell and cancer biology in the laboratory of Alan Hall developing a novel 3D cell culture model of colon tumorigenesis.
