Background

Dr. Dmitri Artemov is an Associate Professor in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Department of Radiology and Radiological Science and the Department of Oncology. He also serves as an Associate Director of the Cancer Functional Imaging Core, which provides dedicated molecular and functional imaging service to research funded by the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins. He specializes in the development of molecular imaging technology to monitor drug delivery to tumors, drug release from tumor-targeted nanocarriers, and tumor response to therapy.

Dr. Artemov completed an M.S. in molecular physics at Moscow State University and received a Ph.D. in physics and mathematics from the Russian Academy of Sciences.

After postdoctoral fellowships in MR imaging and MR of cancer at the University of Wurzburg and Johns Hopkins, respectively, he joined the Johns Hopkins staff as an Instructor in the Department of Radiology in 1997 and became an Assistant Professor of Radiology in 1998. While working in that capacity, Artemov also completed an M.S. in biotechnology at Johns Hopkins. He became an Associate Professor of Radiology and Oncology in 2004.

Dr. Artemov is a member of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, the American Association for Cancer Research, and the Society for Molecular Imaging.

Research & Publications

Research Summary

Dr. Artemov’s main research focus lies in the development of novel molecular imaging methods for highly sensitive and specific MR imaging of molecular targets. Using a combination of MRI and PET capabilities, he seeks to develop targeted theranostic agents and new methods for imaging of infiltrating progenitor cells in the context of tumor microenvironment.
