Kinzya B. Grant

Kinzya B. Grant, M.D. is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Imaging Sciences at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. She is a board-certified Nuclear Medicine specialist within the University of Rochester Medical Faculty Group (URMFG) and Accountable Health Partners (AHP), focusing on advanced diagnostic imaging techniques.

Her educational trajectory includes:

• MD from Drexel University College of Medicine (2005)
• Internal Medicine Internship at Mercy Catholic Medical Center (2005-2006)
• Nuclear Medicine Residency at UAB Hospital (2006-2008)
• Diagnostic Radiology Residency at Drexel College of Medicine Hahnemann University Hospital (2008-2011)
• MRI/Mammography Fellowship at University of Rochester Medical Center (2011-2012)
• NIH Surgery Branch-Surgical Oncology Fellowship (2012-2014)
• General Radiology Fellowship at Brigham & Women's Hospital (2016-2018)
• Neuroradiology Fellowship at Drexel College of Medicine Hahnemann University Hospital (2018-2019)

Dr. Grant's research centers on precision imaging for prostate cancer, utilizing multiparametric MRI, diffusion-weighted sequences, and molecular contrast agents to improve detection, staging, and monitoring. Her work extends to neuroradiology applications including metastatic spinal cord compression assessment, bridging technical innovation with clinical oncology needs.

Analysis of her 2013-2022 publications reveals consistent focus on prostate cancer imaging evolution. She pioneered ferumoxytol-based lymphography protocols, validated gadofosveset for sentinel node mapping, and established MRI criteria for managing indeterminate prostate lesions. Her research demonstrates progressive technical refinement from basic contrast studies to clinical implementation frameworks.

Her recognized achievement includes:

• NIH/NMA Fellow Travel Award (2015)

While no student mentorship or grant leadership details are publicly documented, Dr. Grant contributes to URMC's Imaging Sciences department through clinical service and research collaboration. Her work integrates with multidisciplinary oncology teams to translate imaging advances into patient care pathways.
