Biography

Oded Gonen is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Radiology, specializing in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and its applications to various medical conditions including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and psychiatric disorders. His research primarily focuses on developing MRS tools that facilitate non-invasive investigations into human physiology and biochemistry, contrasting with the anatomical information typically provided by MRI. He has a particular interest in the human brain, along with other organs such as the liver and pancreas, using advanced MRS techniques to compare metabolic levels in normal and pathological conditions. Professor Gonen is engaged in enhancing MRS methodologies to adapt to higher magnetic fields and develop new localization methods that make previously inaccessible anatomies approachable using advanced imaging techniques. His current clinical research initiatives are centered on understanding processes related to normal aging, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury, alongside the development of visualization methods that effectively present complex 3D data for clinical applications.
