IU Radiologist Named to National Research Group
INDIANAPOLIS - Gordon McLennan, M.D., director of the Interventional
Radiology Research Laboratory at the Indiana University School of Medicine,
has been appointed co-chair of the research committee of the Society of
Interventional Radiology.
The committee is the research arm of the Cardiovascular and Interventional
Radiology Research and Education Foundation (CIRREF). Interventional radiology
is a medical specialty that integrates clinical and imaging-based diagnosis
and minimally invasive therapy for patients.
Dr. McLennan's most recent research might lead to new, less toxic drugs
for liver cancer. His other clinical and research interests include arterial
disease and management of dialysis access. He is assistant professor of
radiology.
He has served on the CIRREF committee for three years. In that time,
he helped established a forum to assist his fellow interventional radiologists
in obtaining research grants. Dr. McLennan also heads the grant-writing
workshop at the society's annual meeting, where young researchers are
able to have their preliminary grant applications reviewed by better-established
peers.
