Jens H. Jensen

Dr. Jens H. Jensen is a Professor of Neuroscience at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and Director of the Center for Biomedical Imaging. He holds a PhD in Physics from Princeton University and previously worked at New York University School of Medicine before joining MUSC in 2011. His research focuses on advanced MRI techniques applied to neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, stroke, and addiction. His work emphasizes diffusion MRI, brain microstructure analysis, and translational neuroimaging.

Education:

• PhD in Physics, Princeton University
• Prior affiliation: New York University School of Medicine

Research Interests: Dr. Jensen’s lab develops and applies diffusion MRI methods to study brain microstructure in health and disease. Key areas include:

• Diffusional kurtosis imaging
• White matter integrity assessment
• Neuroimaging biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease
• Therapeutic monitoring using MRI (e.g., transcranial stimulation)

His recent work explores longitudinal changes in mouse models of neurodegeneration and clinical applications in stroke and addiction.

Advising & Grants: While specific grant details are not listed here, his prolific publication record suggests sustained federal and institutional funding. He mentors students in physics, engineering, and neuroscience.

Labs/Teams: Leads the Center for Biomedical Imaging at MUSC, focusing on cutting-edge neuroimaging technologies and clinical translation.
