Maeva Dhaynaut is an Instructor in the Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging at Yale School of Medicine. Her academic appointment is within the Division of Bioimaging Sciences, focusing on positron emission tomography (PET) research and applications.
Dr. Dhaynaut's research spans multiple areas of molecular and neuroimaging, with particular emphasis on:
- Development and application of PET radiotracers for neurological disorders
- Tau imaging in Alzheimer's disease and related neurodegenerative conditions
- Opioid receptor imaging and neuropsychiatric applications
- Quantitative imaging methods and kinetic modeling
- Novel radiopharmaceutical development for CNS targets
Her recent publications demonstrate strong expertise in tau PET imaging with tracers like [18F]MK6240, with applications ranging from Alzheimer's disease to sports-related neurodegeneration in former football players. She has also made significant contributions to opioid receptor imaging and potassium channel imaging. Dr. Dhaynaut frequently employs advanced computational methods including diffusion models and Bayesian approaches for kinetic parameter estimation in dynamic PET imaging.
Dr. Dhaynaut's collaborative research network includes prominent scientists such as Georges El Fakhri, Marc David Normandin, and Nicolas Guehl. Her work spans from basic radiopharmaceutical chemistry through preclinical validation to clinical applications, demonstrating a comprehensive translational research approach.
