Research Focus
Dr. Georg Oeltzschner's lab at Johns Hopkins focuses on improving the accuracy of non-invasive brain measurements using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). The team develops cutting-edge statistical models to analyze biochemical data from the brain, particularly in the context of cancer research. Their goal is to ensure that these methods can reliably capture the complexity of biological data to aid in diagnosing and monitoring treatment responses in diseases affect the brain.
