About THE LAB:
The incumbent will work closely with Dr. Jingwen Yao and a cross-disciplinary team to develop and translate novel MRI techniques for brain tumors, movement disorders, epilepsy, and other brain diseases. The research involves different aspects of biomarker development, including image acquisition and reconstruction, post-processing, quantitative image analysis, pre-clinical investigation, and clinical translation and evaluation. As a member of the lab, the candidate will participate in studies using multimodal neuroimaging techniques (CEST, QSM, DTI, fMRI, etc.) to explore the physiological and pathological processes involved in neurological disorders. Potential projects include tumor-associated macrophage imaging in glioma, metabolite and iron quantification in Huntington’s disease, advanced imaging techniques for personalized targeting of DBS/MRgFUS in movement disorders and epilepsy.
The UCLA Radiology Department offers access to 40+ clinical MRI scanners across various imaging centers/clinics in the greater Los Angeles region. At the main campus of UCLA, there are 7 clinical/research Siemens scanners at 3T and 1.5T, one clinical GE 3T scanner, as well as one 3T Siemens scanner exclusively for research purposes. In addition, a Siemens MR-PET scanner for clinical/research and a small animal Bruker 3T scanner with high gradient performance will be installed in late 2023. With strong interdisciplinary links between Radiology and various campus and clinical departments, the lab provides a unique opportunity to work with a diverse group of engineers, basic scientists, radiologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons.
