Functional Neuroimaging Lab
Our lab focuses on understanding the human brain through advanced neuroimaging techniques.
Representative brain imaging modalities used in our research: Oxygen Extraction Fraction (OEF), Cerebral Metabolic Rate of Oxygen (CMRO₂), Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF), Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM), T1-weighted with Contrast, and T2-FLAIR sequences.
Our group develops novel biophysics models and data processing algorithms to quantify clinically relevant tissue properties, such as cerebral oxygenation, and uses them in neurologic disorders, including stroke, multiple sclerosis, and dementia, to investigate their causes, progress, and therapeutic targets.
