Dr. Michael Zeineh received a B.S. in Biology at Caltech in 1995 and obtained his M.D.-Ph.D. from UCLA in 2003. After internship also at UCLA, he went on to radiology residency and neuroradiology fellowship both at Stanford. He has been faculty in Stanford Neuroradiology since 2010. He spearheads many initiatives in advanced clinical imaging at Stanford, including clinical fMRI and DTI. Simultaneously, he runs a lab with the goal of discovering new imaging abnormalities in neurodegenerative disorders, with a focus on detailed microcircuitry in regions such as the hippocampal formation using advanced, multi-modal in vivo and ex vivo methods, with applications to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and mild traumatic brain injury.
Specific projects:
Ex vivo MRI of iron in Alzheimer’s disease
MR-histopathology correlation (both traditional histology and clearing methods)
MR-PET of AD
7T MR in AD
Analysis of iron-changes in exosomes from AD
Multi-modal MRI (DTI, ASL, QSM, rsfMRI) in mild traumatic brain injury
7T MR in Epilepsy
Ultra-high resolution 7T MRI
X-ray imaging of iron
X-ray imaging of myelin and myelin orientation
Scattered light imaging
Hippocampal microanatomy
