Brain Fluid Translational Imaging Lab

The Nazeri Lab, also known as the Brain Fluid Translational Imaging (BraFTI) Lab, focuses on developing imaging methods to characterize brain fluid compartments, tissue microstructure and neurofluid dynamics in health and disease. In addition, by perturbing brain fluid compartments, the BraFTI Lab aims to develop novel therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.

Our People

The lab, led by Arash Nazeri, MD, is a collaborative and interdisciplinary nexus bridging radiology, neuroscience, biomedical engineering and computer science.

Projects

The BraFTI Lab has two main objectives: to develop and validate novel MRI methods to study brain fluid compartments in health and disease both at the bench and bedside; and to develop tools to manipulate brain fluid dynamics for enhanced drug delivery and liquid biopsy using MR-guided focused ultrasound and other methods.

Arash Nazeri, MD, conducts preclinical MRI research.

Lab Resources

From datasets to videos, the BraFTI Lab has several resources related to novel MRI methods.
