R21 EB033516 General Linear Modeling For Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

NIH/NIBIB

Modern magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) experiments can measure various physical properties of chemicals in the brain. Current computer modeling tools are inadequate to extract the information that such experiments can deliver, and this project seeks to develop new modeling and quantification tools that will be freely accessible to the MRS community.

K99/R00 AG062230 Towards a comprehensive neurometabolic profile in patients with mild cognitive impairment

NIH/NIA

The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease is projected to quadruple by 2050 due to the world’s aging population, potentially leading to social and economic crisis. The proposed research project will develop novel magnetic resonance spectroscopic methods to determine a profile of neurometabolic alterations in the brains of patients in early disease stages. These advancements will enhance our understanding of the neurobiological processes leading to cognitive decline, may improve strategies for early identification of individuals at risk of disease progression, and could identify potential approaches for prevention and treatment for this devastating dementia.
