Research Summary

Dr. Ai-Ling Lin is an expert on translational neuroimaging of brain vascular and metabolic function in aging, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injury. She developed and applied magnetic resonance imaging, spectroscopy, and positron emission tomography to test nutritional and pharmacologic approaches for protecting the brain from aging, traumatic brain injury, and Alzheimer’s disease. She has also applied artificial intelligence to identify markers that are highly predictive for Alzheimer’s disease development and progression, and applied gut microbiome analyses to study gut-brain interaction underlying Alzheimer’s disease.
