Arvind P. Pathak is professor of radiology, oncology, and biomedical engineering at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is also a member of the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center (SKCCC), the Institute for NanoBiotechnology (INBT), and the Institute for Computational Medicine (ICM). His work focuses on developing new imaging methods, computational models, and visualization tools for critical aspects of cancer, neurobiology, and a variety of bioengineering applications.

Pathak received his BS in electronics engineering from the University of Poona, India, in 1993, and in 2001 completed his Ph.D. in Functional Imaging from the joint graduate program between the Biophysics Department at the Medical College of Wisconsin, and the Biomedical Engineering Dept at Marquette University. During his Ph.D. he was the recipient of a Whitaker Fellowship. After a postdoctoral fellowship in the Molecular Imaging Program at Johns Hopkins University, he joined the School of Medicine faculty in 2003.

Pathak’s research has been recognized by several awards and journal covers. These include the Bill Negendank Young Investigator Award from the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) given to “outstanding young investigators in the field of cancer MRI”, and the ISMRM’s Outstanding Teacher Award for 2014. He has advised over a hundred students and is a much sought-after mentor.
