About Dr. Cressman
Dr. Erik Cressman is an Associate Professor of Interventional Radiology at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center. Dr. Cressman received his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Utah in 1989 and his Doctorate in Medicine from Indiana University School of Medicine in 1999. He completed his residency in diagnostic radiology as well and was the inaugural B. Leonard Holman Scholar. Dr. Cressman did his fellowship training in Interventional Radiology, also at Indiana University, after which he began his career at the University of Minnesota as an Assistant Professor in 2005 where he served as Fellowship Program Director. In 2013, he joined UTMD Anderson Cancer Center and currently serves as a Research Advisor for the UTMDACC GSBS Ph.D. Advisory Committee. He served two terms as Chair of the Society of Interventional Radiology Grants and Research Division, is a past President of the Society of Thermal Medicine, and was elected a Fellow of the Society of Interventional Radiology. Dr. Cressman also served as the scientific program chair for the 2015 Society of Thermal Medicine annual meeting, Director of the John S. Dunn Center for Radiologic Sciences at MD Anderson, the Chemical Imaging Research Core, and runs the Image Guided Chemistry Lab. He has received numerous honors and awards for his contributions, primarily in new applications of chemistry in medicine. More recently, he served as scientific vice-chair for the 2022 Society of Interventional Radiology meeting. He currently is the workshop chair for the 2023 Society of Interventional Radiology meeting, a section editor for the International Journal of Hyperthermia, and a charter member of the Image Guided Interventions and Surgery (IGIS) study section at the National Institutes of Health. His research interests are in Tumor Heterogeneity and Metabolism, Thermochemistry, Cell Stress, Cancer Immunology, Thermal Imaging, and Mass Spectrometry Imaging. His clinical interests are in Embolization and Ablation, focused on primary liver cancer and metastatic disease. His goal is to improve patient care and outcomes by developing new approaches to minimally invasive, image-guided oncologic interventions based on the basic science of cancer and cell stress.
