Virendra R. Mishra, Ph.D., received his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the Joint Program between The University of Texas at Arlington and The University of Texas at Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX in May 2014. Before joining the Department of Radiology as an associate professor in October 2022, Dr. Mishra was a staff scientist and assistant director of Brain Imaging Core at Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center in Las Vegas, NV, and an adjunct associate professor of Neurology at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. Dr. Mishra’s current research interests are in identifying biomarkers of cognitive decline during aging through a novel deep learning approach by utilizing a multimodal approach of using advanced MRI (diffusion MRI, functional MRI, perfusion MRI) measures, serum and CSF measures, demographical information, and genetic markers. Dr. Mishra is also working on standardizing diffusion MRI measures across various protocols and scanners across the various research MRI scanners at UAB. Contact InformationAdministrative Support: |
