Research Focus
Dr. Jiangyang Zhang's lab at NYU School of Medicine focuses on understanding and developing treatments for neonatal hypoxic ischemic injury, a serious condition affecting infants. They use advanced imaging techniques to study how this injury affects brain tissue and to evaluate the effectiveness of therapeutic hypothermia. By creating detailed models and measurements, the lab aims to innovate ways to diagnose and monitor brain injuries in newborns, ultimately leading to better intervention strategies.
