Dmitry Novikov, PhD

Associate Professor
I use analytical and numerical modeling tools to quantify and interpret cellular-level tissue structure and its changes in disease based on various MRI contrasts. Biophysical modeling of diffusion and NMR relaxation makes it possible to become specific to tissue features 100-1000 times below the nominal MRI resolution. Specifically, I focus on MRI measurements of diffusion, transverse relaxation, and perfusion, to quantify cell structure and size, membrane permeability, and accumulated iron, and to identify quantitative disease biomarkers in neurodegenerative diseases, tumors, and myopathies.
