NYU Langone Health Department of Radiology invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in multimodal imaging of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The successful candidate will combine cutting-edge multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques with positron emission tomography (PET) to further the understanding of the pathogenesis and progression of AD.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and a major challenge to modern healthcare. Deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and better ability to predict the progression of AD are crucial to improving patient management and to developing effective therapies. This research will focus on MR-derived measures of intracellular viscosity and their use as markers for disease progression.
The project is led by Ivan Kirov, PhD and Assaf Tal, PhD — researchers in NYU Langone’s radiology department and its Center for Advanced Imaging Innovation and Research—and is a collaboration with NYU Langone’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.
