Meet the Speakers:
Born and raised in Paris, Dr. Jonathan Tranel has a passion for applied physics for human health which led him to medical physics. After his Master and Medical Physics residency, his curiosity and taste for adventure pushed him to pursuit with his PhD in 2016, performed at the Centre de Recherches en Cancérologie de Toulouse in Targeted Radionuclide Therapy. Finally, his first and current postdoctoral position has brought him across the pond, at the University of California in San Francisco where he is working since January 2020.
