Dr. Tsang-Wei Tu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at Howard University College of Medicine. He is a key faculty member of the Molecular Imaging Laboratory and the Howard University Imaging Core, where he leads research in advanced neuroimaging techniques. His educational background includes a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science from Washington University in St. Louis (2011) and postdoctoral training in Radiology and Imaging Sciences at the National Institutes of Health (2016). Dr. Tu's research focuses on molecular and functional imaging to understand traumatic brain injury and other neurological disorders. His work emphasizes bridging radiological findings with underlying brain pathophysiology. Key areas include neuroimaging, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI, blood-brain barrier disruption, and spinal cord injury . He teaches courses such as Medical Imaging Technology (MPHS 502) and Topics in Anatomy & Physiology (BIOL 501). The recent publications show a strong trend in using multimodal imaging (MRI, PET, MRS) in preclinical models to study brain injury, neuroinflammation, and regenerative therapies. His work frequently involves pulsed focused ultrasound, microbubbles, and stem cell delivery, with a focus on safety, efficacy, and mechanistic insights. Dr. Tu has not been publicly recognized with scientific awards in the provided text. He actively mentors students and researchers in the Molecular Imaging Laboratory, though specific advisees are not listed. His research is supported by extensive collaborations, particularly with scientists at the National Institutes of Health. Ongoing work appears to focus on imaging biomarkers for cerebral metabolic depression, BBB modulation, and regenerative medicine applications. Dr. Tu is affiliated with the Molecular Imaging Laboratory and the Howard University Imaging Core, which provide advanced imaging resources for preclinical and translational research.
