Research summary
We develop innovative computational analytical methodologies for studying brain health and neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s. The lab employs AI and multimodal neuroimaging — including PET, MRI/fMRI, and EEG — as well as behavioral, clinical and genetic approaches for designing predictive models, identifying disease heterogeneity dimensions and facilitating precision medicine
