We are interested in developing, validating, and applying new quantitative MRI methods to study diseases that affect central and peripheral nervous system structures outside the brain. We are a multi-disciplinary lab with projects focused on both engineering developments and clinical applications. We partner closely with clinicians in the VUMC to translate our methods into patients with nerve trauma, multiple sclerosis, and inherited neuropathies.
