Allan Mackenzie-Graham

Allan Mackenzie-Graham is an Assistant Professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with affiliations in Neurology and Neuroscience. His research focuses on neuroimaging, neuroimmunology, and neurodegenerative diseases, particularly multiple sclerosis and sex-based differences in brain anatomy. His work integrates computational biology, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and preclinical models to explore neuroprotective mechanisms and pathological processes.

Research Interests: His studies span neuroimaging methodologies (e.g., voxel-based morphometry, CLARITY), hormonal therapies (e.g., estriol, estrogen receptors), and sex differences in neurodegenerative diseases. Key topics include axonal injury, brain atrophy, and neuroinflammatory processes, often using mouse models to bridge bench-to-bedside applications.

Publications: Recent work highlights computational advancements in brain segmentation, hormonal neuroprotection in multiple sclerosis, and cross-species neuroimaging comparisons. Projects involve machine learning (e.g., SwinUNETR), neuroanatomical sex differences, and in vivo/ex vivo MRI analysis.
