The recipient will develop a first-in-class small molecule positron emission tomography (PET) probe capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and binding to perforin, a...
The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University $731,500 on September 1, 2026, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to develop physics-informed machine learning systems for medical image analysis. The project will build a generative simulation environment that models dynamic human anatomy and physiology to produce realistic synthetic imaging data such as radiographs and CT scans using known tissue properties and forward imaging models. The recipient will concurrently develop vision-language-based causal reasoning models capable of explaining imaging findings based on underlying physical and physiological mechanisms. The two components are designed to complement each other: the simulation engine will provide structured, controllable, and dynamic visual inputs, while the reasoning models will learn to associate visual content with causal explanations using curated image-text sources. The project will apply and evaluate these approaches in two representative use cases—general radiograph analysis and body CT interpretation—leveraging public datasets and anatomical atlases alongside synthetic data generated through the simulation pipeline, with performance assessed through expert radiologist evaluations. Performance of work will occur in Palo Alto, California. The award period runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2031.
