About
Rajesh Kumar is a Professor at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), affiliated with the David Geffen School of Medicine and departments of Anesthesiology, Radiological Sciences, and Bioengineering. His research focuses on neural tissue integrity in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and heart failure (HF) using MRI and spectroscopy techniques. He has been continuously funded by NIH R01 grants since 2012 and has published extensively on brain structural and functional changes in cardiopulmonary and metabolic disorders.
His recent publications highlight brain tissue alterations in conditions like heart failure, OSA, diabetes, and congenital heart disease. Key methodologies include diffusion tensor imaging, functional MRI, and glymphatic system analysis. Collaborative studies emphasize sex-specific differences, autonomic regulation, and therapeutic implications for neurocognitive disorders.
- Techniques: MRI, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Functional MRI, Spectroscopy
- Conditions: Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Heart Failure, Type 2 Diabetes, Congenital Heart Disease
- Key Findings: Brain tissue integrity links to cognitive deficits, glymphatic dysfunction in OSA, and sex-based myelin changes in HF.
