Research Focus
Dr. Ze Wang's lab at the University of Maryland Baltimore focuses on using advanced MRI technologies to study Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The lab develops and applies artificial intelligence techniques to improve the quality of non-invasive brain imaging, particularly enhancing the measurement of cerebral blood flow in patients with AD. Their work aims to provide better assessment methods for early diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression, ultimately aiding in the search for effective interventions.
