Dr. Sakadzic obtained his Ph.D. with Dr. Lihong Wang at Texas A&M University and completed his postdoctoral training with Dr. David Boas at the Massachusetts General Hospital. His group is developing state-of-the-art optical microscopy imaging technologies and utilizing them to better understand oxygen delivery and consumption on microvascular scales. The goal of these research efforts is to better understand neurovascular coupling in health and disease, to facilitate improvement and development of treatments of brain conditions, and to enable new imaging biomarkers and more quantitative interpretation of macroscopic imaging modalities.
