Working on molecular imaging of neuroreceptors at JHU. Also dabble in stats/data analysis and trying to make better, cooler brain images.
Happy to announce a new paper from me and my colleagues: improving quantification in microPET studies (by using anatomical info from CT or PET/CT). Works much better than trying to apply and align a template directly on the PET. t.co/9umBKEVM6Z

Turns out, all TSPO PET might need an "in mice": "... TSPO expression in human myeloid cells is related to different phenomena than in mice, and that TSPO-PET signals in humans reflect the density of inflammatory cells rather than activation state." #neuroscience www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Translocator protein is a marker of activated microglia in rodent models but not human neurodegenera...
TSPO PET imaging is widely used to quantify microglial activation. Here, the authors show that TSPO expression increases in activated rodent but not human microglia, implying that in humans TSPO infor...

Guess I should post but with this #neuroskyence #neuroscience tag so it shows up on the feed thingamajig.
Hey PET people, this is a project I've been a part of for a while -- a pipeline for kinetic modeling & neuroreceptor imaging in PET, takes you step by step in a Matlab-based GUI: https://github.com/IDAETeam/The-Integrative-Data-Analysis-Environment-for-Brain-PET

The Alzheimer's Drug development pipeline in 2023 -- Sure, still a lot of amyloid, but inflammation, oxidative stress and bioenergetics also making an impact in phase I and II.

OK, here goes another attempt at being an active science-y poster on social media. Have all the other cool science folks fully moved off of the other site? Or are we still hedging our bets?

I wrote up a post on a wide range of resources and advice that has helped me as an academic who delved into climate action and work; please share widely!

So you’re an academic who wants to help with the climate crisis?
With the hottest days in recorded history, oceans reaching 100°F, droughts, and wildfire air turning the sky orange, it takes little more than walking out your door to be reminded of the ongoing clim...
