Christoph Birkl

Christoph Birkl is Assistant Professor for Computational Radiology at Medical University of Innsbruck. His research develops advanced MRI techniques for quantifying brain iron, microstructure, and neurodegeneration.

Key research areas include:

• Iron dysregulation in migraine/neurodegenerative diseases
• Neonatal brain microstructure analysis
• Machine learning for automated neuroanatomy segmentation

Leads a research team developing quantitative neuroimaging protocols validated in clinical studies. Recent publications demonstrate applications in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and rare neurological disorders.
