Janine Lupo, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF. She is a member of the UCSF/UC Berkeley Graduate Group in Bioengineering, Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, Institute for Computational Health Sciences, and Center for Intelligent Imaging. She received her BSE in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, School of Engineering and Applied Science in Philadelphia before completing her PhD in the UCSF/UCB Joint Graduate Group in Bioengineering.

Janine’s research focuses on the development and application of novel MR imaging data acquisition, processing, and analysis techniques for the evaluation of patients with brain tumors and other neurological diseases using our research 3T and 7T scanners. This includes the development of quantitative algorithms critical for processing data from advanced acquisitions for patient studies, implementation of statistical modeling and deep learning methods to relate imaging markers with biological characteristics from pathology and clinical outcome in order to both identify patients who would benefit most for a given therapy and monitor the effects of therapy over time on tumor control, normal brain tissue structure, and cognition. She is the Principal Investigator of an R01 & R21 NIH grants, a DOD Impact award, as well as a Project leader within both an NIH Programmatic Project grant and Brain Tumor SPORE grant.
