'Quantitative Multiscale Imaging: Methods and Applications'
Date
Anders Dale, PhD
Professor and Vice Chair of Neurosciences, Psychiatry, and Cognitive Science
University of California, San Diego
Abstract: The goal of the work to be presented is to enable quantitative non-invasive imaging of brain physiology and anatomy in health and disease, by combining imaging modalities and advanced analysis methods. This includes 1) Development of improved methods for structural and functional image acquisition and analysis, combining MRI, optical, electrophysiological, and molecular imaging modalities; 2) Characterization of the physiological and biophysical basis of imaging signals, and the coupling between neuronal activity, metabolism and the vascular response at microscopic and mesoscopic scales; 3) Identification of the genetic basis of common variation in brain structure and function, based on twin- and genome wide association studies (GWAS); and 4) Translation of quantitative multimodal imaging, molecular
biomarkers and genetics into clinical practice.
Please note that Dr. Anders Dale is an applicant for the VA CIND Director Faculty Position.
