Brain Imaging & Neuro Epidemiology
The BraINE group studies brain health by exploring the factors that increase or decrease the risk of brain diseases. They also develop methods to predict and detect these diseases at an early stage.
ACTIVITIES
Research focuses on both healthy individuals and patients, as well as animal models to better understand different diseases. The team primarily uses advanced brain imaging technologies (fMRI, MRI, PET), but they also study how memory and cognitive abilities are influenced by various factors, beyond just the brain’s structure.
With a strong focus on improving patient care, the BraINE group develops advanced methods for analysing medical images, using radiomics (which extracts detailed information from images) and deep learning (artificial intelligence techniques that help detect complex patterns in the images).
Current projects focus on brain diseases that worsen over time, such as brain tumours, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, as well as the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the brain.
The team is affiliated with both the Department of Cancer Research and the Department of Precision Health at the LIH.
