Position:
Research Officer, Howard Florey Institute, Animal Magnet

Research Interest:
My current research interests include MRI investigations of a mouse model (in vivo and in vitro) of multiple sclerosis and Huntington’s disease, MR image processing techniques, human neonate in vivo MR imaging quantitative analysis, and development of new biotechnology methods for MRI human and animal models.

I also have research co-ordination responsibility for the study of new contrast agents collaborated with CSRIO.
