Qiang Shen, PhD

Assistant Professor/Research

Research Imaging Institute

I have over 15 years of experiences in developing and applying magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study anatomy, physiology and function of the central nervous system in normal and diseased states in animal models. In the past 2 years, I have applied my skills to study traumatic brain injury and Parkinson's disease. My specific interest are:

1) stroke imaging, imaging biomarkers for early detection, longitudinal monitoring, and prediction of tissue fate of ischemic
stroke;

2) novel MRI/MRS methodologies to dynamically measure blood flow,tissue oxygen tension, blood volume;

3) high-resolution functional MRI techniques for mapping layer-specific and columnar organization.

As a principal investigator, my stroke research work has been supported by Scientist Development Grant and Beginning-Grant-in-Aid of American Heart Association.
