Nauris Zdanovskis

Nauris Zdanovskis is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at Riga Stradins University, specializing in neuroimaging and cognitive disorders. His research focuses on MRI biomarkers for cognitive decline, dementia, and neurodegenerative diseases, with a particular emphasis on cortical morphology, brain connectivity, and interventional radiology techniques.

Education: Expert in Clinical Medicine (Latvian Council of Science, 2024–2027).

Research Interests: Combines advanced neuroimaging methods with clinical applications to study cognitive impairment mechanisms. Key areas include amygdala atrophy analysis, cortical curvature measurements, and white matter connectivity assessment. Active in developing diagnostic tools using MRI-derived biomarkers for early dementia detection.

Grants & Projects: Led projects such as MOBILE-COG (EU-funded), investigating lifestyle factors in cognitive decline. Collaborates on motor reserve studies and interventional radiology for critical limb ischemia.

Awards: Received Certificate of Merit (2022) for poster work on multiparametric brain MRI evaluations.

Labs/Teams: Involved in interdisciplinary teams at Riga Stradins University focusing on brain imaging and cognitive neuroscience, with collaborations in Latvia and internationally.
