معرفی
Professor Tarek Yousry is a distinguished Professor of Neuroradiology at University College London's Institute of Neurology, serving in the Department of Translational Neuroscience and Stroke at the Queen Square campus in London, WC1N 3BG, United Kingdom. His research program focuses on advancing magnetic resonance imaging techniques to improve diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system disorders through sophisticated imaging approaches.
Professor Yousry's primary research interests center on two major clinical domains: brain tumors (particularly low-grade gliomas) and neuromuscular diseases. In neuro-oncology, he leverages the Angio-MR intraoperative suite at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery to develop comprehensive functional MRI protocols for motor and language mapping, optimize diffusion tensor imaging for white matter tract identification, and create atlas-based methods for residual tumor volume assessment. His neuromuscular research within the MRC Centre for Neuromuscular Disease aims to establish MRI as a novel diagnostic tool for peripheral nerve lesions and a sensitive method for monitoring disease progression and therapeutic responses.
His recent publication record (2024-2025) demonstrates significant contributions across multiple domains including multiple sclerosis imaging, quantitative MRI biomarkers, structured reporting systems, and contrast agent usage protocols. Professor Yousry's work spans brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and peripheral nerve disorders, with numerous high-impact publications in journals like European Radiology, Brain, and Neurology.
Professor Yousry maintains extensive collaborations across University College London, including the Welcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, the Institute of Cognitive Neurosciences, and the UCL Centre for Medical Image Computing. His international collaborations are evident through participation in MAGNIMS initiatives and European research consortia focused on multiple sclerosis and neuroimaging standards. His research has practical clinical applications, as demonstrated by his evaluation of stroke imaging software and work on optic nerve MRI for multiple sclerosis management.
