Associate Professor
Virginia Commonwealth University
Richmond, Virginia, United States
Dr. Jennifer Jordan, PhD, MS, FSCMR, is an Associate Professor with joint appointments in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Pauley Heart Center at Virginia Commonwealth University. She is a translational cardiovascular imaging scientist whose work focuses on advancing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques to improve early detection of cardiovascular injury in cardio-oncology, infiltrative cardiomyopathies, and heart failure. Her research emphasizes rapid, quantitative, and mechanistically informed imaging approaches to identify early, noninvasive biomarkers that can guide prevention, risk stratification, and treatment decision-making in vulnerable patient populations.
Dr. Jordan directs the Quantitative Cardiovascular Imaging Laboratory at VCU, where she leads a multidisciplinary team applying advanced image analysis, computational modeling, and emerging artificial intelligence tools to clinical and translational problems in cardiovascular medicine. She is principal investigator of multiple studies funded by the National Institutes of Health and the American Heart Association, and she oversees imaging core operations for several multicenter NIH-funded cardio-oncology consortia as well as the PCORI-funded Left vs. Left trial.
Nationally, Dr. Jordan is recognized for her leadership in the CMR community. She chairs the Cardio-Oncology Special Interest Group for the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) and serves on the planning committee for the annual SCMR Perfusion Mid-Year Meeting, contributing to scientific programming that advances the field’s technical and clinical frontiers. She was selected as an inaugural fellow in the Executive Leadership Academy for Cancer Centers (ELACC), a national program developed to cultivate the next generation of leaders in NCI-designated cancer centers.
Through her combined efforts in research, imaging core leadership, professional society engagement, and mentorship of trainees across engineering and clinical disciplines, Dr. Jordan is committed to accelerating innovation in cardiovascular imaging and improving outcomes for patients at risk for treatment-related or biologically driven cardiac disease.
