Cross-disciplinary imaging scientist with expertise in preclinical and translational MRI for CNS diseases/biomarker

Profile Summary

I am a neuroscientist and MRI expert with over 10 years of experience in preclinical and translational imaging. My expertise spans high-field MRI (up to 21.1T), functional and diffusion MRI (fMRI/DTI), and AI-driven image analysis for neuroscience applications. I have led research at top-tier institutes including Mayo Clinic, University of Minnesota, and the U.S. National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. I specialize in designing and analyzing imaging experiments for neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's), brain connectivity, and biomarker discovery. I offer consultation and data analysis services for biotech, pharma, and academic teams seeking advanced MRI support, imaging protocol development, or scientific writing.
