Dr. Duygu Tosun-Turgut is a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging at the University of California, San Francisco and founding director of medical imaging informatics and artificial intelligence at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Her research focuses on neuroimaging, neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders. The goal of her work is to develop biomarkers using advanced imaging technology that can detect the progression of neurodegenerative pathologies before they cause irreversible damage to the brain. These markers could be used for early diagnosis, initiating prevention strategies for those at risk, monitoring the efficacy and regional specificity of therapies and clinical trial enrichment. She has considerable experience in developing approaches to analyze multi-disciplinary and multi-modal data, including neuroimages, fluid biomarkers, genetics, proteomics and cognitive measures within a unified framework. Her research has received funding from the National Institute of Aging, The Michael J. Fox Foundation, industry partners and pharmaceutical collaborations.
