David Dubowitz, MD PhD, is a radiologist and neuroscientist. He received
his bachelor and master degrees in Electrical Engineering from the
University of Cambridge, England. His medical training was at University of
Oxford, England, and he has completed residencies in Internal Medicine at
Oxford, and Radiology at Cambridge. He is also did a fellowship in Magnetic
Resonance Spectroscopy at Huntington Medical Research Institutes in
Pasadena, CA. His PhD is from California Institute of Technology where he also did postdoctoral research on functional MRI of cerebral physiology in the
primate brain.

He joined the UCSD faculty in 2002, working primarily at the UCSD Center
for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, where he serves as Associate
Director. His primary research interests are is in the field of magnetic
resonance imaging, focusing on the basic physiology of functional MRI, both
in humans and in other animals, and MRI measurements of cerebral blood flow and metabolism, particularly as they apply to acclimatization and
deacclimatization to hypoxia at altitude. He also has research interests in
MRI measurements of pulmonary blood flow, and in magnetic resonance
spectroscopy (MRS).
