Research Focus
Dr. Md Nasir Uddin's lab at the University of Rochester focuses on understanding how liver diseases, specifically non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affect brain health in individuals living with HIV. The research uses advanced imaging technologies, including MRI, to explore brain dysfunction and cognitive performance in these patients. By investigating the links between liver health, brain injury, and cognitive outcomes, the lab aims to improve our understanding of these complex interactions and develop better diagnostic tools.
