Jae Mo Park

Jae Mo Park is an Associate Professor at UT Southwestern Medical Center, affiliated with the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and the Department of Biomedical Engineering. He also holds appointments in Electrical Engineering at UT Dallas, where he teaches courses such as Digital Image Processing and Signals and Systems.

• Education: Electrical Engineering degrees (undergraduate and graduate) from Stanford University; doctoral research on MRI/MRSI for glioma brain tumor metabolism.

His lab develops hyperpolarized MRI/MRS methods to assess in vivo metabolic fluxes, focusing on mitochondrial function in diseases like cancer, diabetes, and traumatic brain injury. Research integrates MR pulse sequence design, physiology, and clinical translation.

Recent publications highlight hyperpolarized 13C/15N probes for metabolic imaging of the liver, brain, and heart, with applications in fatty liver disease, TBI, and exercise physiology. Awards and grants are not explicitly mentioned, but his work includes collaborations across institutions.

Dr. Park teaches courses in neuroimaging, molecular imaging, and metabolic imaging at UT Southwestern and advanced image processing at UT Dallas. The Park Lab investigates metabolic disease characteristics and clinical translation of imaging techniques, with open positions for graduate researchers.
