Biography
As a physicist specializing in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), I am developing a non-invasive empirical method to diagnose Alzheimer's Disease and other nervous system disorders in their earliest stages. I am also using MRI to follow the effectiveness of treatment regimes over the course of time. (The image below the sort of imaging the group does.)
