Andreia Vasconcellos Faria

Dr. Andreia Vasconcellos Faria is an Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiological Science at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She holds an M.D. from the State University of Campinas, Brazil, and a Ph.D. in Neurosciences, followed by postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins. Her expertise spans neuroradiology, medical imaging physics, and computational analysis, with a focus on MRI technology and AI-driven tools for neurological disorders. She leads the Faria Lab, which develops advanced MRI analysis techniques for neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric conditions, and stroke, emphasizing translational research.

Education: M.D. (2004) and Ph.D. in Neurosciences (2004) from Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil. Postdoctoral training at Johns Hopkins University.

Research Interests: MRI post-processing, automated segmentation, AI models for brain patterns, and imaging applications in neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s) and stroke. Her lab’s innovations include the Digital 3D Brain MRI Arterial Territories Atlas and automated radiological reporting systems for acute stroke.

Key Achievements: Over 80 journal articles, including top-cited works in NeuroImage, patents, and NIH-funded projects. Awards include The Discovery Award (Johns Hopkins) and BRITESTAR Award (Radiology Department).

Labs/Teams: Faria Lab focuses on MRI-based translational research, integrating computational methods with clinical applications to advance understanding of brain structure-function relationships.
