Research Focus
Dr. Zhong Irene Wang's lab focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, particularly for patients who have not had success with traditional therapies. The lab uses advanced MR Fingerprinting technology to detect subtle brain abnormalities that are often missed in standard MRI scans. This cutting-edge approach aims to enhance surgical outcomes for patients suffering from resistant forms of epilepsy by combining imaging data with machine learning to develop personalized treatment plans.
