Dan Kadrmas, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at the University of Utah, an investigator in the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and a member of the Experimental Therapeutics Program. Kadrmas is also director of the Quantitative and Functional PET/CT Laboratory.

Kadrmas researches imaging technologies, particularly the use of positron emission technology (PET) imaging to study multiple aspects of tumor physiology, glucose metabolism, blood flow, hypoxia, and growth in various types of cancer.

Kadrmas received a master's degree from the University of Iowa and a PhD from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
