Dr. John Haller is the Acting Division Director of the Division of Applied Science and Technology at the NIBIB. Most of the imaging
applications that Dr. Haller manages are related to some facet of clinical or tomographic imaging (MRI, CT, PET, ultrasound, etc.). One of his primary areas of interest includes image guided interventions (minimally invasive therapies, image guided surgery, radiation therapy) and other computer-assisted techniques. Prior to coming to NIBIB, he was on the Radiology faculty at the University of Iowa where he directed the Imaging Applications Lab. Prior to 1997, he did MRI morphometry and PET studies at Washington
University in St. Louis, and briefly studied brain mapping techniques (Statistical Parametric Mapping) at Hammersmith Hospital in London. He began his imaging career in 1985 doing pulmonary PET studies at Washington University. Dr. Haller earned a Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology in 1992 with his doctoral dissertation on "A PET study of schizophrenia before and after antipsychotic treatment."
