Jeff W.M. Bulte, Ph.D. is a professor of radiology, oncology, biomedical engineering, and chemical and biomolecular engineering who he specializes in molecular and cellular imaging. Specifically, he is developing new contrast agents and theranostics with particular emphasis on in vivo cell tracking and regenerative medicine. Bulte has pioneered methods to label cells magnetically, making them visible by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic particle imaging (MPI). He is the inaugural radiology director of scientific communications, and serves as director of cellular imaging in the Johns Hopkins Institute for Cell Engineering. He is a fellow and Gold Medal awardee of the ISMRM, a fellow of WMIS, a fellow of AIMBE, and a distinguished investigator of The Academy of Radiology Research. Bulte received his undergraduate degree in biology and a master’s in medical biology from the Free University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. He completed his Ph.D. in medicine summa cum laude from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. Prior to joining Johns Hopkins in 2001, he spent 10 years with the National Institutes of Health, first as a postdoctoral fellow and then as a staff scientist in the Laboratory of Diagnostic Radiology Research.
