The Paul C. Aebersold Award, named for Paul C. Aebersold — a pioneer in the biologic and medical application of radioactive materials and the first director of the Atomic Energy Commission’s Division of Isotope Development— recognizes outstanding achievement in basic science applied to nuclear medicine and was first awarded in 1973.
Mark M. Goodman, PhD, a program director of the Center for Systems Imaging (CSI) and professor of radiology and imaging sciences, psychiatry, and hematology and oncology at Emory University, has been named this year’s recipient of the prestigious award.
Goodman’s research interests encompass PET and SPECT radiotracer development of oncology, brain and heart agents. He and his colleagues were the first to develop iodine-123 BMIPP, which has been introduced clinically to image acute and chronic ischemic heart disease, measuring fatty acid metabolism. He also led the way in developing probes for dopamine transporter and serotonin transporter imaging. Most recently, Goodman developed a cyclic amino acid to measure leucine amino acid transport across cell membranes, useful in oncology imaging.
Goodman received his doctorate in chemistry from the University of Alabama in 1976 and completed postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Alabama, Yale University and Harvard University. He has held academic appointments at Emory University and the University of Tennessee and served as staff scientist in the nuclear medicine group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Martin Marietta Energy Systems, Inc. Goodman also served in various positions in the U.S. Army for 17 years and was honorably discharged as a captain in 1987.
In addition to his membership in SNM, Goodman is also a member of the American Chemical Society, International Isotope Society, Society of Radiopharmaceutical Sciences and American College of Neuropyschopharmacology. He has authored or coauthored nearly 400 manuscripts, book chapters and abstracts and holds 26 patents. Goodman has received numerous awards and honors throughout his career, including the Outstanding Graduate Teaching and Research Award, Emory University Endowed Chair in Imaging Sciences, Emory Office of Technology Transfer Innovation of the Year and the Society of Nuclear Medicine Michael J. Welch Award.
Benedict Cassen Prize for Research in Nuclear Medicine
The Cassen Prize, often considered the Nobel Prize of nuclear medicine, honors Benedict Cassen, whose invention of the rectilinear radioisotope scanner — the first instrument capable of making an image of radiotracer distribution in body organs of living patients—was seminal to the development of clinical nuclear medicine.
