معرفی
Dr. D. S. Fahmeed Hyder is a Professor of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging and Biomedical Engineering at Yale University, with joint appointments in the Yale School of Medicine. He leads the Magnetic Resonance Research Center (MRRC) and directs the Core Center for Quantitative Neuroscience with Magnetic Resonance (QNMR). His research focuses on brain energy metabolism, developing advanced MRI techniques to study neuronal-glial interactions, metabolic dysfunction biomarkers, and molecular imaging of tumors. He holds over 240 peer-reviewed publications and has secured continuous NIH funding for 25+ years.
Education: B.A. in Chemistry (Wabash College, 1990), Ph.D. in Biophysical Chemistry (Yale University, 1995). Postdoctoral training includes roles at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, University of Rochester, and Yale.
Research Interests: Functional MRI (fMRI) advancements, calibrated fMRI for quantitative neural activity, BIRDS molecular imaging (for pH/temperature), and applications in neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s) and oncology. Current projects include pH biosensor development, tumor response monitoring, and neuropil density prediction via AI.
Awards: Melvin H. Knisely Award, Niels Lassen Award, Lundbeck Visiting Professorship, and fellowships in AIMBE, ARBR, and Sigma Xi. Recently appointed Head of Trumbull College at Yale.
Grants: Continuous NIH support across 7 institutes; active projects in molecular imaging, stroke models, and neurovascular coupling.
Labs/Teams: MRRC (mrrc.yale.edu), QNMR (qnmr.yale.edu), collaborating with interdisciplinary teams in physics, engineering, and biology.
