Ivan Kirov is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology and the Department of Neurology at New York University. His research primarily focuses on brain imaging and neuroscience, particularly using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to understand metabolic changes in neurological disorders such as concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). His work explores the relationship between biochemical and metabolic changes in the brain and their correlation with clinical symptoms. Kirov's laboratory is dedicated to enhancing current methods for predicting cognitive decline and is supported by various funding sources, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH). His ongoing projects include the use of MRS markers to probe intracellular viscosity in neurons and astrocytes, contributing to a better understanding of neurologic health and disease.
Open Program in Biomedical Sciences (Vilcek Institute) covers departments like Biochemistry, Pathology, Neuroscience, Microbiology, etc.
