Virginia is a physicist with expertise in the design, development, deployment, and evaluation of non-invasive biomedical imaging technologies and methods. Since 2019, she has led a shared service center at MIT’s Koch Institute, the Preclinical Imaging and Testing Facility (Preclinical I&T), which is responsible for the end-to-end in vivo evaluation of therapeutics using imaging and computation as core technologies. Virginia completed her PhD in Experimental Physics Technology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), with a focus on nuclear medicine. She continued her postdoctoral training at Stanford University, where she focused on the computational evaluation of radiation-based diagnostic technologies for clinical breast and full-body imaging, before moving to Philips Research, where she was responsible for technology demonstrations in digital photonics. While at the Langer and Anderson Labs at MIT, she developed a multimodal portfolio of imaging-based approaches for evaluating drug delivery devices. She was also a Visiting Scientist at CERN, collaborating on nanoscale radiation sensors.
