Biography

Daniel Silverman is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology at UCLA, where he heads the Neuronuclear Imaging Section of the Ahmanson Biological Imaging Division. His research program investigates the interactions of living human brain functions related to memory, mood, and pain perception, both in normal and disordered states, such as dementia, depression, and chronic pain syndromes. Dr. Silverman aims to develop noninvasive methodologies for optimizing the management of breast and colorectal cancers. His research focuses on the application of positron emission tomography (PET) to characterize and map the distribution processes of low-level radioactive biochemicals in the human body, relevant to patients receiving nuclear internal medicine. He has significant experience in both bench and bedside research, particularly monitoring biochemical impacts on patient progress at the Ahmanson Biological Imaging Clinic.
