BOSTON - April 3, 2023 - PRLog -- As cardiac imaging becomes more integrated in both clinical practice and research, Cardiovascular Clinical Sciences (CCS) announced today the appointment of Dr. Jing Dai as the new Director of Core Lab Operations.
Dr. Dai is a highly accomplished medical professional with an impressive academic background, having earned both an M.D. and Ph.D. from Peking University Health Science Center.
