Research Scientist in Radiology and Biomedical Imaging
Biography
Kira Grogg earned her Ph.D. in high-energy physics from the University of Wisconsin in 2011, where she conducted research at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. She then began a postdoctoral fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School (MGH/HMS), where she investigated imaging patients using positron emission tomography (PET) immediately after proton therapy treatments. Her research aimed to verify the location of the proton radiation dose and was supported by an NCI K07 award. In 2015, Grogg became an Instructor at MGH/HMS and in 2019 completed a certificate program in Medical Physics and Instrumentation at HMS. She worked as a clinical medical physicist and researcher, obtaining ABSNM certification in Nuclear Medicine Physics in 2021. In 2024, Grogg joined the Yale PET Center as a Research Scientist.
