WASHINGTON, D.C. — R. Edward Coleman, director of the nuclear medicine division at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., was awarded the 2007 Georg Charles de Hevesy Nuclear Pioneer Award for his contributions to the nuclear medicine profession. The award was presented June 3 during the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the worlds largest society for molecular imaging and nuclear medicine professionals, June 2–6 in Washington, D.C.
With this award, SNM recognizes that Dr. Colemans work has had a meaningful and significant impact on molecular imaging and nuclear medicine practice, said SNM President Martin P. Sandler. The list of previous recipients of this award is impressive and includes numerous Nobel laureates—such as Ernest Lawrence, who built the worlds first cyclotron for the production of radionuclides, and Glenn Seaborg, who discovered more than half a dozen new elements, he noted. Dr. Coleman joins a select group of scientists whose research is deemed to have had a significant impact on medicine, he added.
Coleman, who is also a professor of radiology and vice chair of the Department of Radiology at Duke University Medical Center, was recognized for his efforts in advancing molecular imaging and clinical applications of positron emission tomography (PET), PET/computed tomography (CT) and radionuclide therapy. Before joining Duke University Medical Center, he held academic appointments at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake City.
