Ulrike Dydak is a Professor in the School of Health Sciences at Purdue University and serves as the Director of the Purdue Life Science MRI Facility. She completed her Master’s degree in physics at the University of Vienna, Austria, and earned her PhD from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich). Her research focuses on the development and application of novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) spectroscopy (MRS) techniques for clinical life sciences studies, particularly in relation to metal-induced parkinsonism and neurological disorders. Dydak’s work includes investigating manganese-induced neurotoxicity among welders by employing MRS techniques to assess changes in neurotransmitters such as GABA and Glutamate, as well as evaluating metal deposition in the human brain through quantitative MRI. She has collaborated on projects addressing postpartum depression and addiction using MRI, and her findings contribute to understanding the connection between neurotoxicity and mental health issues.
