Ivan Jambor, MD

Univerzita Komenskeho v Bratislave

I was born and raised in Slovakia. My passion for mathematics and physics began in childhood, and I regularly participated in national competitions. I eventually decided to study medicine, and soon became interested in imaging research. Beginning in the anatomy department, I continued with PET/MRI research in the radiology department, where I became fascinated with methods for modifying and manipulating tissue contrast in MR.

While still in medical school I began working on my PhD at the University of Turku in Turku, Finland. I graduated summa cum laude from medical school at the Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, and worked in Turku on my PhD thesis in PET/MRI, which I expect to defend this coming summer. During the past 8 years I have become more familiar with PET/MRI physics and have gradually established a research group in Finland focused on cancer imaging, especially of prostate cancer. I am currently completing my transitional year at the Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University in Detroit, MI and am thrilled to start my clinical training in radiology.

In my free time I like to play tennis, work out at the gym, and cook.

Nikhil Madhuripan, MD

Medical College Thiruvananthapuram

I grew up in the lush green Trivandrum, a beautiful city in the Indian state of Kerala. After finishing the entirety of schooling right up to med school in the city, I decided to pack my bags and chase the academic dreams I had been nurturing as a student. An interest sparked off, oddly enough on an internal medicine rotation, made me decide to pursue radiology as a career. I rotated as a visiting student in radiology at Northwestern University, Chicago where I also spent quality time doing clinical research. After that came a year of internship in internal medicine at Fairview Hospital- Cleveland clinic.

I now have the pleasure of being a part of the Radiology family here at Baystate. Outside of work I have an ever changing array of interests, which currently includes indoor rock climbing, volleyball, ping pong, cooking and streaming Netflix on every screen in my home. I have met wonderful people along the way, who in addition to bolstering my creativity let me envision future in a wholesome way. I look forward to having many more such experiences here at Baystate
