Christodoulou Lab
The Christodoulou Laboratory develops and translates novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques through innovations in MR physics, machine learning and image reconstruction. Our primary focus is on multidimensional quantitative imaging methods for the diagnosis, risk prediction and treatment monitoring of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
The Christodoulou Laboratory is supported by funding from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute—both of the National Institutes of Health. Interested graduate students and postdoctoral scientists are encouraged to investigate our work and contact us with inquiries about positions.
The Christodoulou Laboratory is affiliated with the Cedars-Sinai Biomedical Imaging Research Institute and the Department of Biomedical Sciences.
Personal Statement
Our long-term research goal is to enable comprehensive quantification of multiple MR biomarkers in a single, short “push-button” scan that simultaneously quantifies multiple biomarkers—for any organ and for a wide range of diseases. Our first major step toward this goal, “MR Multitasking,” redesigns the quantitative MRI process to allow fast, accurate and repeatable motion-resolved quantitative imaging—enabling non-ECG, free-breathing quantification of multiple tissue parameters at once, even in the heart and abdomen."
