Jafar Golzarian

Jafar Golzarian, M.D. is an ABR-certified Professor of Radiology at the University of Minnesota and the founder of North Star Vascular and Interventional Center. He is a Key Opinion leader in Interventional Radiology, embolization, and oncology. A 1988 graduate of the University of Brussels School of Medicine, he completed his residency in Radiology, followed by an Interventional Radiology Fellowship at Erasme Hospital, University of Brussels School of Medicine in 1994.
He cofounded the GEST meeting, GEST MSK and Portal 360 and is an active member of the ABR, SIR, Société Belge de Gastroentérologie, Société Française de Radiologie, and CIRSE. He is a Fellow at SIR and CIRSE, a Gold Medalist of the Japanese Society of Interventional Radiology and the Iranian Society of Radiology, and an Honorary member of the Société Royale Belge de Radiologie and the Chinese College of Interventionalists.
His current research interests include prostate artery embolization, MSK embolization, Embolic materials, Hemorrhoidal artery embolization, portal hypertension, and endovascular management of liver tumors. He has been involved with basic research focused on the development of Bioresorbable embolic microspheres, Resorbable drug-eluting particles, new liquid embolics, drug-loaded bioresorbable hydrogels, animal models for the management of osteoarthritis, and the development of models for the understanding of flow dynamics during embolization. His basic research resulted in many new materials and over 20 patents. He has authored over 200 peer-reviewed publications, a textbook on Embolotherapy, and over 14 book chapters. He has over 500 invited or peer-reviewed lectures.
