Projects

Quantitative MRI of Skeletal Muscle Aging

This project develops and validates advanced quantitative MRI techniques to assess compositional and structural changes in skeletal muscles of older adults and determine how these changes predict future declines in muscle strength and function.

MSK   QUANTITATIVE MRI

Advanced Diffusion MRI in Renal Cancer: Oncologic Control and Renal Functional Reserve

This project investigates REFMAP, an advanced diffusion MRI approach combining IVIM and DTI, to noninvasively diagnose kidney tumors, estimate glomerular filtration rate, and predict renal function outcomes following surgery.

DIFFUSION MRI   KIDNEYS

Imaging and Therapeutic Targeting of Tissue Crosstalk in the Injured Knee

This project investigates the interplay between inflammation and apoptosis in post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) using in vitro and in vivo methods to develop therapeutic strategies that target both pathways and prevent disease progression.

MOLECULAR IMAGING   MSK

Neuroimaging Core of NYU Langone’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center

The neuroimaging core of NYU Langone’s Alzheimer Disease Research Center supports research on Alzheimer’s and related dementias by developing and applying advanced imaging techniques to aid early diagnosis, track disease progression, and inform novel diagnostics and treatments.

AGING   BRAIN

Imaging of pain sources in myofascial pain syndrome

This project aims to develop PET and MRI techniques to identify novel imaging biomarkers of myofascial tissue damage and associated inflammatory mediators, providing objective measures of trigger points and the sources of pain to improve the diagnosis, characterization, and management of myofascial pain syndrome.
