معرفی
Christian Habeck is a Professor of Neurological Sciences at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), affiliated with both the Neurology department and the Taub Institute. His academic journey began with a PhD in Particle Physics from the University of Sussex (1998), transitioning into neuroscience through postdoctoral work at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego. He specializes in multivariate analysis of neuroimaging data, particularly PET and fMRI, to develop biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease and study neurodegenerative processes.
Research interests include robust empirical inference in neuroimaging, multivariate approaches for clinical diagnosis, and understanding cognitive resilience mechanisms in aging. His work has been supported by NIH grants as Principal Investigator (PI), including studies on Alzheimer's detection using ASL MRI and covariance analysis (2007-2012).
Key contributions include publications on metabolic connectivity, cognitive reserve networks, and biomarker development. He is an active member of the Society for Neuroscience and Organization for Human Brain Mapping.
His research integrates advanced statistical methods and machine learning with neuroimaging techniques to address fundamental questions in neurological disorders, particularly focusing on early disease detection and bridging molecular imaging with brain network analysis.
