Research Focus
Dr. Jens H Jensen's lab focuses on developing advanced imaging techniques to better understand and monitor Alzheimer's disease. They use specialized MRI methods to evaluate how the disease progresses and how it responds to potential treatments in mouse models. By applying these methods, they hope to uncover new insights into Alzheimer's pathology and assist in the development of more effective therapies.
