Projects

Biomarkers of Abnormal Brain Aging

This research investigates early mechanisms of abnormal brain aging and validates early biomarkers to identify pre-symptomatic stages before clinical symptoms appear.

AGING   BRAIN

Unpacking the Importance of the Structural Injuries in Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

This project uses advanced diffusion MRI techniques and novel analysis methods to identify imaging biomarkers of brain changes and cognitive outcomes in patients with mild traumatic brain injury, aiming to improve diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment planning.

BRAIN   DIFFUSION 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 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.

MSK   QUANTITATIVE MRI

Prediction Models of Knee Osteoarthritis Incidence and Progression using Deep Learning

This project develops and validates deep-learning models that analyze clinical and imaging data to predict individuals' five-year risk of knee osteoarthritis progression and total knee replacement, aiming to enable early intervention and personalized treatment.
