    Dr. Chapiro is an Associate Professor in Radiology, Digestive Diseases (Hepatology) and in Biomedical Engineering, Principal Investigator of the Yale Interventional Oncology Research Lab and Director of the Center for Minimally Invasive Therapies. After graduating from the University of Leipzig and upon completion of his research thesis at the Justus-Liebig University in Giessen with summa cum laude, he served as a postdoctoral research fellow in interventional oncology at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and then as radiology resident at the Department of Radiology, Charité University Hospital in Berlin. He joined the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging in 2016 as a research scientist and interventional radiology resident from Berlin, Germany. Dr. Chapiro’s research focuses on developing new quantitative imaging biomarkers for the diagnosis, characterization, and therapeutic...
  • Research Associate, Radiology

    Eliot Funai graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and previously worked at Johns Hopkins University before coming to Yale. His work as a clinical research coordinator is to develop and oversee the management and execution of clinical trials, primarily concerning locoregional therapies for treating liver cancers. His experience is with investigator initiated studies, industry and NIH-funded trials, and cooperative group studies.
  • Assistant Professor of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging; Affiliated Faculty, Yale Institute for Global Health

    Dr. Fabian M. Laage Gaupp graduated from Medical School at Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and completed his surgical internship at Cornell Presbyterian Hospital in New York. He then pursued residency training in Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at Yale New Haven Hospital, where he served as Chief Resident of Interventional Radiology. In 2021, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Vascular and Interventional Radiology in Yale's Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. Dr. Laage Gaupp is dedicated to training the next generation of Interventional Radiologists. After serving as Assistant Program Director and Medical Student Clerkship Director for Yale's Interventional Radiology education program for several years, he took over as Interventional Radiology Program Director in 2024. He specializes in minimally invasive treatments for Men’s and Women’s Health,...

  • Postgraduate Fellow

    Niki Katsara is an MD candidate at Charité Medical University in Berlin, Germany. She was born and raised in Athens, Greece, where she graduated from the German School of Athens (DSA). Currently, she serves as a Postgraduate Research Fellow at the esteemed Yale Interventional Oncology Lab, where she aims to improve the detection, characterization, and treatment of neoplastic disease in the liver using machine learning to combine imaging and clinical parameters to create powerful predictive algorithms and upgrade the imaging quality during minimal-invasive treatments. Her main medical interests include Gynaecology/Oncology and Interventional Radiology/Oncology. Driven by a profound fascination for cancers and women's health, she actively seeks opportunities for collaboration, research engagement, and clinical electives. Beyond her academic pursuits, Niki Katsara is deeply...
  • Postgraduate Associate

    Jessica is currently pursuing her PhD in Biomedical Engineering at Yale. She received her B.Sc in Biomedical Sciences from the Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz (UESC), Brazil, with further research experience from McGill University, Canada, and Harvard School of Public Health, USA through the Science Without Borders Scholarship Program. Upon graduating from UESC, she received her fully funded master’s degree in Biomedical Sciences with a focus on cancer development and immune responses from Radboud Universiteit, Netherlands. She concluded her program at the Department of Immunobiology at Yale University. She worked as a Postgraduate Research Associate at the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, where she optimized animal models of liver cancer for molecular characterization of the tumor microenvironment to loco-regional therapies from an imaging...
  • Hospital Resident

    Jonathan Tefera is a 4th-year medical student from Charité University Hospital Berlin in Germany. As part of the 'Rising Star' Research Exchange between the Charité University and Yale School of Medicine, Jonathan joined the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at Yale in September 2018. The Rolf W. Günther foundation for Radiologic Sciences supports Jonathan's research through a travel grant. His research at Yale focuses on the application of machine learning and deep learning software to identify imaging features in CT, and MRI scans that can aid in the early and reliable diagnosis of malignant liver tumors.
