SummaryOur clinical and translational research program focuses on several interrelated areas broadly relating to acute and chronic liver injury.
The major research theme involves evaluating the functional expression of acute and chronic liver injury in human subjects using novel magnetic resonance imaging techniques. This research program, sponsored by the Center for Translational Science Activities (CTSA) award in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, is specifically focused on magnetic resonance elastography as an imaging marker for hepatic fibrosis. These studies are done in collaboration with members from the Center for Advanced Imaging Research as well as the Departments of Physiology and Biomedical Engineering, Radiology, Pathology, and Biostatistics. Related areas of study include 1) the quantitative estimation of vascular hemodynamics with liver injury using contrast-enhanced MRI, 2) assessment of the role of relative tissue hypoxia in chronic liver disease by novel MRI techniques, and 3) exploration of the dynamic, biomechanical aspects of hepatic tissue affected by drug-induced liver injury.
