Selma Saclier

Selma Saclier is a Visiting Undergraduate in Research in the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at Yale School of Medicine, where she joined the Interventional Oncology (IO) Research Lab as part of the “Rising Star” exchange program, a collaborative initiative between Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Yale. At Charité, she is a member of the Minimally Invasive Tumor Therapies (MITT) Lab, where her research focused on the correlation of anatomical parameters in VX2 tumor-bearing New Zealand White rabbits. The project was conducted within the framework of an animal welfare-oriented study investigating the physiological variability of anatomical structures and was funded by a Charité 3R research grant.

At the IO Lab at Yale, she is pursuing a data science-based project aimed at predicting recurrence after thermal ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma. This involves a retrospective analysis of imaging data using coregistration techniques and radiomics.

She was awarded the IO Essentials Scholarship and attended the Annual Meeting of the Society of Interventional Oncology (SIO) in January 2025 in Las Vegas, USA. Her research stay at Yale is supported by a travel grant from the Rolf W. Günther Foundation for Radiological Research. In addition, she is a recipient of the Deutschlandstipendium for outstanding academic performance and the Biomedical Education Program (BMEP) scholarship for her project at Yale.
