Scott Beeman is an assistant professor in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering. Beeman's expertise lies in the development and application of magnetic resonance-based methods to decipher how diseases like diabetes and cancer develop and progress. He holds a bachelor's degree and doctorate in biomedical engineering from Arizona State University and completed his postdoctoral research training at the Washington University School of Medicine’s Biomedical Magnetic Resonance Laboratory. Beeman received an NIH K01 Career award in 2016 to study the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and joined the faculty at Washington University in January of 2017. He joined ASU in August of 2019.
- Postdoctoral Research Associate. Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO. 2013-2016
- Ph.D. Biomedical Engineering, Arizona State University 2012
- B.S.E. Bioengineering, Arizona State University 2007
The mission of Dr. Beeman’s laboratory is to design quantitative magnetic resonance (MR)-based methods, informed by the fundamental biophysics that underpin the complex in vivo MR signal, to advance the scientific understanding of health and disease. Current funded research efforts are aimed at developing quantitative MR-based methods to interrogate the unknown pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and its downstream complications.
