Translational Neuroimaging Lab
Our research utilizes ultra-high-field (9.4 Tesla) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) to investigate the structural, metabolic, and functional architecture of the central nervous system. Operating across a diverse range of species, we develop and apply advanced structural imaging, high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and multi-nuclear spectroscopy pipelines to map brain networks and neurochemical profiles in vivo.
Our facility serves as a multi-species comparative and translational framework. We combine macroscale structural connectomics and localized metabolic fingerprinting to track biomarkers of neurodevelopment, behavioral phenotypes, and neural plasticity. By bridging the gap between microscopic cellular biochemistry and macroscopic network topology, this high-resolution imaging suite provides critical insights into both fundamental comparative neuroscience and translational models of disease.
