Biography
Ron Price came to Vanderbilt for graduate work in Physics from West Kentucky University. His PhD research was done in high energy physics, with data collected at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He was one of the Advanced Health Physics fellows. After grauation, he joined the nuclear medicine staff working with Gene Johnston and Randy Brill on an iron metabolism project funded by Jerry Hine at the Washington, Veterans Administration. He stayed on for the rest of his scientific career, with a funded named Chair and Director of the Division of Radiology and Radiological Sciences.
