  • Director, Pediatric Oncology Education (POE) Program

Education

PhD – Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri (Physics)

Academic Activities

Dr. Gronemeyer has held positions with the University of Missouri in St. Louis, Washington University in St. Louis, the National Science Foundation, Argonne National Laboratory, Massachusetts General Hospital, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and Siemens Medical Systems  

She is a medical physicist with expertise in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After six years with Siemens as their first MR Applications Scientist, Dr. Gronemeyer joined Diagnostic Imaging at St. Jude in 1988 as an Associate Member.

In 1997, she became Director of our Pediatric Oncology Education (POE) Program and Principal Investigator on R25CA023944, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) grant which funds the POE Program.

She moved to our Academic Programs Office as Associate Director in 2000. In 2002, she obtained a CURE supplement to our NCI Cancer Center Support Grant to enable additional outstanding under-represented minority students to participate in our POE program.

She serves on review committees for the NCI and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities and  has served on the boards of the Intercultural Cancer Council and the American Association for Cancer Education (AACE). 

Dr. Gronemeyer is a Fellow of the AACE and a recipient of the AACE Margaret Hay Edwards Achievement Medal For Outstanding Contributions to Cancer Education.
