In another project, his lab is developing ways of neuroimaging techniques to map blood and calcium dynamics for use in animal studies to help researchers identify changes in brain networks associated with neurologic disease.
“Joe Culver is a leader among his peers, and his impact on the imaging sciences and medicine is widespread and world-renowned,” said Perlmutter. “As the Sherwood Moore Professor of Radiology, Joe will take to new heights what already has been a remarkable body of work in developing neurophotonic technology for mapping brain function.”

Members of Joseph P. Culver’s laboratory wore matching shirts labeled “Tomo Sapien” – a portmanteau of Homo sapiens and the imaging technique tomography – to celebrate his installation as the Sherwood Moore Professor of Radiology.
“Professor Culver is an outstanding imaging scientist whose innovations have led to many important projects in brain imaging,” said Richard L. Wahl, MD, the Elizabeth E. Mallinckrodt Professor and head of the Department of Radiology and director of MIR. “He is also an outstanding educator and mentor. He is playing a major role in developing the next generation of imaging scientists.”
Culver earned his bachelor’s degree in math and physics in 1985 from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., followed by a second bachelor’s degree in physics from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 1988. He earned his PhD in physics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997 and joined the faculty at the School of Medicine in 2003.
Washington University School of Medicine’s 1,500 faculty physicians also are the medical staff of Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children’s hospitals. The School of Medicine is a leader in medical research, teaching and patient care, ranking among the top 10 medical schools in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Through its affiliations with Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children’s hospitals, the School of Medicine is linked to BJC HealthCare.
