Biography & Research:
I am Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and staff scientist at the Radiology Department of the Clínica Universidad de Navarra (Pamplona, Spain) and Adjunct Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of Pennsylvania. I have a broad background in Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques, with specific training and expertise in functional MRI and Arterial Spin labeling Perfusion MRI. From 2004 to 2006, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Functional Neuroimaging (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA) working with Dr. John Detre, who is a pioneer in the development and applications of ASL. I continue to focus in ASL perfusion MRI as mine main research line. I was the Program Director of the Perfusion Study Group of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (2012-14).
