Alexander Weber

Alexander Weber is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Paediatrics at the University of British Columbia and an Independent Investigator at the BC Children's Hospital Research Institute. He develops non-invasive MRI methods to study brain development and injury in neonates and children. His current focus includes optimizing cerebral oxygen consumption measurements and analyzing neural correlates of neurodevelopmental disorders.

Research utilizes multimodal imaging to map brain metastability and injury mechanisms in conditions like preterm birth. He advocates for open science and neuroimaging standardization through platforms like ABCD Study and Neurodesk. Recent work explores neural signatures of consciousness and pain perception using advanced computational models.
