In the Lab The Kaiser lab specializes in investigating sex differences in the pathophysiology of stroke, traumatic brain injury, and vascular cognitive impairment. Within the lab, the Kaiser team employs clinically relevant assessments, including magnetic resonance imaging, to evaluate tissue-level changes. Additionally, they utilize gait and neurobehavioral tests to assess functional-level outcomes in response to…

In the Lab The Samanta lab studies regeneration of myelin from neural stem cells residing in the adult mammalian brain. Myelin is the insulating sheath formed by spiral wrapping of oligodendrocyte processes around axons of neurons and its main function is to increase the nerve conduction velocity. Loss of myelin or demyelination occurs during healthy…

In the Lab The Zhao group is focused on innovating novel approaches to improve magnetic resonance (MR) imaging physics at cellular level for early detection and therapeutic treatment of cancers, for tracking of stem cells, and for other biophysical and biomedical applications. MRI-based cell tracking using super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) particles provide an excellent means…
