Martin M. Pike

Martin M. Pike, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at the School of Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), affiliated with the Advanced Imaging Research Center and Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program. His research focuses on brain diseases such as malignant glioma and stroke, employing MRI/MRS techniques alongside mouse models. He investigates anti-angiogenic therapies for glioma and stroke neuroprotection strategies, emphasizing autophagic cell death mechanisms.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree from Williams College (1978)
• Ph.D. in Chemistry from State University of New York (1985)
• NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (1985–1988)

Research Interests: Dr. Pike’s work bridges molecular imaging and translational medicine. Key focuses include dynamic contrast MRI for glioma treatment assessment, stroke inflammation mechanisms, and developing combination therapies targeting autophagy. His lab integrates imaging, immunohistology, and in vitro studies to advance precision medicine for brain tumors.

Publication Trends: Recent articles highlight MRI-based metabolic imaging (MADI), glymphatic solute transport in brain pathologies, and drug synergies in glioma. Studies also address stroke-related neurovascular coupling and diabetes-exacerbated cognitive deficits.

Awards & Grants: While specific awards are unmentioned, his sustained research output and institutional appointments reflect recognition in neuroimaging and oncology. Grants likely support his glioma treatment and stroke mechanisms studies.

Labs & Collaborations: He leads projects at OHSU’s Advanced Imaging Research Center, collaborating with neuroscientists and engineers to translate imaging innovations into clinical applications.
