Nicholas S. Cho is an MD/PhD candidate at the UCLA-Caltech Medical Scientist Training Program in Los Angeles. He is currently pursuing his graduate thesis work in UCLA’s Brain Tumor Imaging Laboratory under Dr. Benjamin Ellingson. Mr. Cho participated in neuroradiology research at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the Functional MRI Laboratory under Dr. Andrei Holodny while an undergraduate at the Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science. He is the recipient of 2021 American Brain Tumor Association Jack & Fay Netchin Medical Student Summer Fellowship and the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award. Mr. Cho has published 7 articles as a first author and 9 as a co-author. In addition, he has written 1 book chapter, given 1 oral presentation at the American Society of Neuroradiology meeting, and has had 12 meeting abstracts accepted.
Dr. Burak Berksu Ozkara has been chosen as one of this year’s Editorial Fellows. Having graduated in July 2022 with high distinction from Istanbul University–Cerrahpasa, Cerrahpasa School of Medicine, Dr. Ozkara has continuously demonstrated exemplary dedication and passion towards neuroradiology.
Having begun his journey in the United States with an elective at the Johns Hopkins Hospital’s Neuroradiology Department under the guidance of Dr. Vivek Yedavalli, he made important contributions to stroke imaging research. This dedication seamlessly continued into his current position as a Research Fellow at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Neuroradiology Department. Under the guidance of Dr. Max Wintermark, Dr. Ozkara has been conducting research on the imaging of brain tumors and the application of artificial intelligence in neuroradiology. His commitment to the field is further exemplified by his role as a member of the Ad Hoc AI Committee of the American Society of Neuroradiology.
Dr. Ozkara’s academic credentials are noteworthy, with 7 first-author publications and 9 as a co-author. He also gave 2 oral presentations at the ASNR Annual Meeting in 2023 and has been slated for 2 more at the upcoming ASFNR conference.
