معرفی
Udunna Anazodo, PhD, serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University's Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital (The Neuro). She is a William Dawson Scholar and member of the Neuroimaging and Neuroinformatics research group, having joined The Neuro from Lawson Health Research Institute where she held an Assistant Professor position in Medical Biophysics.
Her research pioneers intelligent PET imaging for comprehensive brain health mapping by integrating positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect early alterations in brain function, neurochemistry, and physiology. Current projects focus on optimizing next-generation ultra-high-resolution PET systems and developing machine learning-driven image reconstruction tools to achieve unprecedented spatial precision and sensitivity for clinical brain imaging.
Dr. Anazodo's core research domains include:
- Neuroimaging and Neuroinformatics
- Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- Machine Learning for Medical Image Analysis
- Ultra-High-Resolution Brain Imaging
- Translational Neuroscience
As a William Dawson Scholar recipient—one of McGill University's highest academic honors—her work advances The Neuro's open science mission within the Neuroscience Mission of the McGill University Health Centre, a Killam Institution dedicated to neurological disease research and innovation.
