Aziz M. Ulug, PhD, is Associate Investigator in the Center for Neurosciences and serves as Director of MRI Research. He also leads the Imaging Core (MRI) for the National Institutes of Health Morris K. Udall Center of Excellence in Parkinson’s Disease Research. Dr. Ulug’s research work focuses on neuroimaging applications of MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). He is also highly experienced in other functional applications of MRI, such as functional MRI (fMRI) and MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), and has published more than 70 manuscripts during his career.
Dr. Ulug earned his PhD in Solid State NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) from Washington University in St. Louis in 1993. After completing a postdoctoral fellowship with the Department of Radiology at Johns Hopkins University, in 1997, he joined Weill Cornell Medical College as Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology; in 2003 he was made Associate Professor. Dr. Ulug joined the Functional Brain Imaging Laboratory at the Feinstein Institute in 2008.
