Mohammad Abbas Yaseen is an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering at Northeastern University, affiliated with the Optical Microscopy & Neuro-Imaging (OMNI) Lab. He holds a PhD from Rice University (2008) and a BS from Johns Hopkins University (2002). His research focuses on advanced optical microscopy techniques to study brain function in rodent models of human diseases, particularly neurodegenerative disorders and stroke. Education: PhD in Bioengineering, Rice University, 2008 BS in Biomedical and Electrical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, 2002 Research highlights: Develops high-resolution optical tools to assess metabolic and immune changes in the brain. Investigates neurovascular and neuroimmune alterations in Alzheimer’s disease and stroke using multiphoton microscopy. Lab projects include cerebral oxygenation monitoring and biomarker identification for neurodegenerative diseases. Publications span topics like cerebral blood flow dynamics, neuroinflammation, and optical imaging techniques. His lab actively mentors undergraduate and graduate students in Northeastern’s College of Engineering. The OMNI Lab collaborates with institutions like the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and maintains NIH-funded research programs.
