Research Interests: My primary research interest utilizes diffusion MRI (dMRI) to study brain microstructure in traumatic brain injury and in novel mouse models of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). We also study how the cerebrovasculature responds aging and brain injury using perfusion MRI combined with cellular and molecular approaches that could lead to potential new therapeutic avenues.

Email: Frédéric A. Perras

Research Interests: My research interests center on the development of solid-state NMR and DNP methodology and their applications to the study of the interfaces of materials with a particular focus on the surfaces of heterogeneous catalysts. I believe that the success of NMR as a field of study in the United States crucially depends on the existence and funding of user facilities like the Maglab. Most research groups cannot justify the expense for ultrahigh field systems and would be priced out of the field without the Maglab. This would obviously be a loss for the research community, in particular my own.
