Mokhtar H. Gado, MD, (1933–2016) was a leading researcher, clinician, educator and mentor for decades at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Dr. Gado’s work on the nervous system included: a) Extensive research involving magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and spine; b) The radiological manifestations of Alzheimer’s disease and brain changes in the elderly; and, c) The correlation of physical principles of magnetic resonance to the pathologic changes in the disease processes of the central nervous system. All had significant impacts in clinical neuroscience.
Dr. Gado was born in Monoufiah, Egypt. He earned his bachelor’s degree in 1949 and his medical degree in 1953 at Cairo University. After completing his internship, residencies and fellowships at Cairo University Hospital, he took fellowships at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, England and at, what was then, the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases, in Queen Square, London. In 1970, he came to Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis as a fellow in radiology. In 1971, Dr. Gado was appointed chief of the neuroradiology section which he led until 1991. Thereafter, he continued active research, teaching and scholarship. He was appointed Professor Emeritus in 2013.
