Dr. Xiang Xu is an Assistant Professor of Radiology at the BioMedical Engineering and Imaging Institute (BMEII) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. She earned her PhD in Physical Chemistry from New York University. Before joining BMEII at Mount Sinai, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship and served as an Assistant Professor at the F.M Kirby Center for Functional Brain Imaging at Kennedy Krieger Institute and the Department of Radiology at the Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Xu’s research focuses on developing new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methodologies to study in vitro and in vivo systems. She is particularly interested in chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI.
Dr. Rodolphe LeForestier
Rodolphe LeForestier is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Neuroimaging Lab at BMEII. He obtained a PhD in Physics and MS in Medical Physics at the University of Rennes 1, France. He works with Dr. Xiang Xu to develop and improve MRI techniques in CEST imaging, and is particularly interested in the possible use of glucose as a contrast agent at 7T.
Ding Xia
As a Senior Research Scientist, Ding Xia works on developing advanced MRI sequences and image reconstruction methods for rapid quantitative MRI and CEST MRI. Ding came to BMEII with experience in pulse sequence programming and quantitative imaging. He previously worked as a Research Scientist at the Center for Biomedical Imaging at the NYU School of Medicine, where he specialized in MR fingerprinting, quantitative imaging, multi-nuclear imaging and CEST MRI.
