Dafna Sussman is an Associate Professor and Director of the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program at Toronto Metropolitan University. Her research primarily involves developing advanced medical imaging techniques, particularly using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for obstetric and gynecologic diagnostics. With a strong focus on maternal-fetal physiology, she leads the Maternal Fetal Imaging Lab at St. Michael's Hospital, where her team works on harnessing artificial intelligence to enhance diagnostic capabilities. Sussman's impactful work on automatic medical image processing and the development of MRI sequences has made significant contributions to fetal health, facilitating the early detection of abnormalities and improving intervention outcomes for affected infants. She is dedicated to applying research that directly benefits clinical practices and enhances the quality of life for newborns, particularly in cases of intrauterine growth restriction. Sussman is also an affiliate scientist at the Keenan Research Centre and holds additional adjunct professor roles at various institutions, where she continues to bridge the gap between engineering innovations and medical applications.
