Multinuclear MRI to Monitor Breast Cancer Therapy

This project develops a multinuclear MRI technique using sodium (23Na) and hydrogen (1H) MR fingerprinting at 3 T to create imaging biomarkers for assessing early breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and guiding treatment decisions.

Overhauser Dynamic Nuclear Polarization of Water Vapor

This project develops an Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization platform to enhance nuclear magnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging signals through efficient electron–nuclear polarization transfer using a custom microwave transmission system, loop-gap resonator, and inhalable hyperpolarized aerosols for high-sensitivity pulmonary imaging at low magnetic fields.
