Research

The research projects in Dr. Mao’s laboratory are focusing on developing and utilizing imaging technologies to address biological questions and solve medical problems with strong emphases on translational research and potential clinical applications. His research program, which has been supported continuously by NIH grants attempts to link molecular, cell biology and biomarker discovery to non-invasive imaging of biological and disease events and activities in vivo, and eventually in human for early detection and molecular characterizations of diseases.

Their research contributions and activities are highlighted in the following areas:

developing biomarker targeted MRI contrast agents for MRI-based molecular and cellular imaging;
developing NMR/MRS based metabolomics to profile cell or tissue metabolites in vivo and ex vivo to investigate the potential metabolite markers for improving the specificity of cancer detection and for early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases;
developing nanomaterial and nanotechnology for image-guided drug delivery and interventions and in vitro diagnostics;
developing clinical applications of advanced MRI technologies for imaging and study of brain functions, brain disorders and diseases, as well as image-guided treatment;
developing machine- and deep-learning based automatic image analysis and diagnostics.
