He trained in Radiology and Neuroradiology in Oxford, UCLA, and the University of Michigan, and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Radiologists in London. He holds a research MD degree in experimental neuroimaging (UCLA), and a PhD in molecular imaging (Crump Institute of Molecular Imaging at UCLA, and the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford, Gambhir laboratory). He is a member of the Cambridge Cancer Centre and Cambridge Neuroscience, as well as a visiting Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology and MIPS at Stanford, USA. He was formerly an Associate Professor of Radiology at UCLA, and held visiting Associate Professorships at Columbia and Milwaukee. Dr. Massoud has published extensively and won numerous awards at scientific meetings. His papers in experimental interventional neuroradiology and molecular imaging are widely cited. He is a peer-reviewer for 19 international medical journals, as well as other medical charities and governmental funding agencies. He is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Reports in Medical Imaging, and an editorial board member for European Radiology and five other biomedical journals. His current interests are in molecular imaging using reporter genes, experimental aspects of neuroimaging, clinical neuroradiology, radiological anatomy, and research education and academic training of radiologists.
