In our research group we develop and apply MRI techniques to study physiology and pathology in animal models of disease, and in post-mortem human tissue. In vivo imaging allows us to study biological systems and animals non-invasively. Our group uses a range of state-of-the-art imaging systems, including MRI, CT, SPECT and optical systems to develop techniques to visualize the anatomy, function of specific organs or image specific cellular and molecular targets. We specialize in imaging markers of neurodegenerative and neurovascular disorders, using MRI in combination with other imaging techniques and histology and molecular biology to link imaging phenotypes to biological substrates.
