Jeremy Gordon

Dr. Jeremy Gordon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He holds a PhD in Medical Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2013) and a BS in Physics & Astronomy from the University of Georgia (2008). Prior to his faculty role, he worked as a postdoctoral scholar (2013–2016) and Senior Bioengineer (2016–2020) at UCSF.

His research focuses on developing novel hyperpolarized MRI techniques for metabolic imaging, particularly in pancreatic cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s Disease, and brain perfusion studies. These methods leverage hyperpolarized 13C and x-nuclei to assess metabolic pathways and treatment responses. Key applications include non-invasive metabolic biomarker identification and improved clinical care for cancer and neurological disorders.

Major awards include the Distinguished Reviewer Award (2018), RSNA ITARSc Program recognition (2017), and multiple merit awards from the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (2013). He is affiliated with the Advanced Imaging Technologies Resource Group and the Hyperpolarized MRI Technology Resource Center at UCSF.

Recent work emphasizes multi-center clinical trials, data standardization (DICOM integration), and open-source tools for X-nuclear imaging. His lab collaborates widely, with studies involving metabolic imaging of the brain, abdomen, and heart under various physiological conditions (e.g., glucose challenges).
