Research Description
Junzhong Xu, Ph.D., is a tenured Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and secondary Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University. He is the Director of Cancer Imaging Research at Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science. His current research projects are focused on the development, validation, optimization, and evaluation of advanced quantitative MRI methods in various applications such as neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. The specific projects include 1) the development and validation of MRI cell size imaging for mapping biological microstructure in cancer or neurodegenerative diseases; 2) the assessment of MR cell size imaging to better characterize tumor status and monitor tumor early treatment response to anti-cancer therapy; and 3) applications of advanced MRI methods to improve the diagnosis and treatment response of neurodegenerative diseases including multiple sclerosis.
