Assistant Professor of Neuroimaging in Radiology
Mark Mikkelsen, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of neuroimaging at Weill Cornell Medicine. He was awarded his doctorate in neuroimaging at the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC). He specializes in magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) research, developing novel methodologies and applying them to neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders and diseases. In particular, he focuses on advanced methods for the noninvasive measurement of low-concentration metabolites in the living human brain, such as the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and the antioxidant glutathione (GSH). Dr. Mikkelsen also develops open-source software and data processing tools for analyzing MRS data.
