Research Focus
Dr. David W. Shattuck's research lab at UCLA focuses on developing software tools for analyzing and visualizing neuroimaging data from rodent models. These tools help scientists study brain diseases and disorders by enabling detailed examination of brain imaging data, including MRI and microscopy. By creating open-source software, the lab aims to enhance research capabilities for preclinical studies and understanding neurological conditions better.
