On September 8, 2023, at the World Molecular Imaging Congress (WMIC) in Prague, Dr. Paula Foster was named a Fellow of the Society.
The WMIS Fellows are a group of distinguished scientists that have contributed significantly to both the molecular imaging field and to the World Molecular Imaging Society (WMIS). They are accomplished scientists that have been involved in molecular imaging since the very early days, have worked across the spectrum of molecular imaging, have made significant contributions including instrumentation and probe development and continue to contribute to the field with new technologies and insight into understanding the biology that drives the future of molecular imaging.
Dr. Foster is the first scientist at a Canadian university to be named a WMIS Fellow.
Dr. Foster's students, Samantha Flood won a poster award at the WMIC and student Nitara Flood had the highest scoring abstract from Canada at WMIC in Prague and was appointed as a WMIS Ambassador for Canada
