My research focused on tracking drug efficacy and disease progression through imaging biomarkers in patients with myelofibrosis.
I served as first author on a paper published in Tomography, “Fat Fraction MRI for Longitudinal Bone Marrow Heterogeneity in a Mouse Model of Myelofibrosis.” In this work, I developed the research hypothesis, conducted animal trials, wrote custom computational analysis code in MATLAB, and performed data analysis and statistical evaluation to identify novel quantitative MRI techniques for assessing myelofibrosis in a preclinical model.
In addition, I worked on clinical trials applying quantitative MRI techniques to patient data.
