    R. Peter Lokken earned his Master’s degree in Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health (2006) and his MD (2007) from Harvard Medical School in Boston, MA. He completed a one-year Internal Medicine internship at UC San Diego (2008). Lokken’s four-year diagnostic radiology residency was at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, MA (2008-2012). Lokken completed a one-year Interventional Radiology fellowship at UCSF in 2013. In 2013, he joined the University of Illinois Hospital Health & Science Center in Chicago as a radiologist specializing in vascular interventional radiology. In June 2018, he rejoined UCSF as an assistant professor of clinical radiology in the department’s Interventional Section.

    Lokken is an associate editor for the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, the scientific journal of the Society for Interventional Radiology. His research focus is the investigation of clinical, genetic and immunological factors associated with outcomes of locoregional therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma and other malignancies.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
