About
Titles
Research Scientist in Radiology and Biomedical Imaging
Director, Small Animal MRI Core, Magnetic Resonance Research CenterBiography
My expertise in combining neurophysiology with fMRI brings a novel combination of tools and a unique perspective to understand brain function during physiology and pathology. My current research is focused on understanding of the biophysics of brain functioning and facilitating the translation of basic science research to various clinical applications (e.g., healthy aging, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, early life stress, schizophrenia, stroke, mild traumatic brain injury, Spinal cord injury).
