Three promising students are designated as Bradley-Alavi Fellows, named by donors Jane and Abass Alavi in honor of Stanley E. Bradley, a professor of medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York until 1978. The fellowships support students' full-time participation in clinical and basic research activities in molecular imaging/nuclear medicine.

Dr. Abass Alavi, himself an award-winning professor of radiology and chief of the Division of Nuclear Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, attributes his education ethic and dedicated perserverance to the tireless encouragement of his mother in loving memory of husband and father, Mohsen Alavi.
