Research Focus
Dr. Li Feng's lab focuses on developing advanced MRI techniques to improve the diagnosis and management of chronic liver diseases, particularly metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). They are pioneering a new method that provides non-invasive imaging biomarkers to assess liver inflammation and fibrosis. This research aims to offer alternative solutions to invasive procedures like liver biopsies.
