Research

The brain is extremely metabolically active and changes in metabolism offer a senstive measure of  alterations that can provide important biolological insight. I am interested in applying new metabolic imaging methods to probe the metabolism in brain diseases using external agents. We are currently investigating metabolic changes in glioblastoma using ²H and ¹³C MRI and metabolism of multiple scerlosis using ²H.  

Profile

I am a postdoc in the MR Research Centre with an expertise in MR Physics. I am involved in setting up of sequences for MR imaging and applying novel metabolic imaging techniques to diseases, primarily in the brain. In addition, I also work on  translating the imaging data into clinically relevant information.
