Ushma Neill with the Journal of Clinical Investigation series, Conversations with Giants in Medicine, met Dr. Elias Zerhouni at the Lasker Awards in September of 2023 and jumped at the opportunity to be able to spend an hour with him. Zerhouni, who is professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins University and vice chairman and president of OPKO Health, is a radiologist by training, who focused much of his research on CT- and MRI-based imaging methods to diagnose cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Notably, he served as the director of the US National Institutes of Health from 2002 to 2008 and later as president of global research and development at Sanofi.
