Youssef Z. Wadghiri is an Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at New York University. His research interests are focused on the development of non-invasive MRI strategies that facilitate the collection of anatomical and functional data from mouse models of human disease. The Wadghiri Lab has established extensive interdisciplinary collaborations to enhance the depth of their work, particularly in applying existing clinical protocols to study cancer and neurodegenerative diseases using MRI. The lab is dedicated to the molecular MRI mapping of disease biomarkers that provide critical information regarding the location and extent of pathology within the organs examined. Wadghiri's latest work utilizes targeted labeling techniques to gain insights into disease mechanisms and the efficacy of current and emerging therapies tested in mouse models. Through developing high-field MRI methods combined with cellular and molecular targeting techniques, the lab aims to better understand human diseases and validate small animal imaging protocols that can be translated to human applications.
