Dr. Leo Sugrue is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology and holds a joint appointment in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He specializes in Neuroradiology, with a focus on imaging brain circuits involved in neuropsychiatric disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, and movement disorders. His work integrates advanced imaging techniques like functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion MRI (dMRI), and focused ultrasound to develop personalized treatments. He co-directs the UCSF Neuroscience Program in Focused Ultrasound and directs the Laboratory for Precision Neuroimaging, which merges genetic, behavioral, and imaging data to understand brain disorders. Dr. Sugrue earned his MD from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and a PhD in Neuroscience from Stanford University, with postdoctoral training at Stanford and UCSF. Education: Johns Hopkins (MD), Stanford (PhD in Neuroscience) Residency: UCSF Diagnostic Radiology Fellowship: UCSF Neuroradiology His research interests include neuromodulation, imaging genetics, and molecular imaging. He has received awards such as the Haile T. Debas Excellence in Teaching Award (2019) and the ARRS/ASNR Research Scholar Award (2016). His lab's work emphasizes translational approaches to brain disorders, aiming to tailor treatments to individual patients' needs. Key contributions include studies on OCD treatment using deep brain stimulation (DBS), the role of DNA methylation in Alzheimer's progression, and the development of imaging pipelines for focused ultrasound therapies. Dr. Sugrue collaborates across disciplines, including psychiatry, neurosurgery, and neurology, to advance circuit-based diagnostics and interventions.
