张晓东 (Ph.D.)，中国科学院武汉物理与数学研究所磁共振专业博士毕业，原埃默里大学国家灵长类动物研究中心副教授和影像中心副主任。多年来主要从事磁共振成像技术在非人灵长类动物模型的研究与应用，在神经影像学领域积累了丰富的科研经验。曾在明尼苏达大学磁共振研究中心（CMRR）、埃默里大学（和佐治亚理工合办）的生物医学工程系，埃默里国家灵长类动物研究中心等顶尖科研机构工作多年。深耕神经退行性疾病的影像学标志物开发，尤其在亨廷顿病（HD），中风（Stroke），记忆，HIV等猕猴模型的研究上取得了系列重要进展。当前的研究重点包括通过当代高场和超高场MRI影像技术的开发与优化（如弥散张量成像(DTI)、灌注MRI、静息态功能MRI等）来揭示神经疾病的病理机制，并探索其早期诊断的影像学标志。
研究方向：
1、开发和应用多模态MRI影像技术，包括弥散张量成像（DTI）、灌注MRI和静息态功能MRI（rsfMRI），用于分析神经退行性疾病模型中的大脑微结构和功能网络的变化。特别是应用于中风、阿尔茨海默病、亨廷顿病，帕金森病等神经退化疾病的病理研究和早期诊断。
2、结合机器学习和大数据分析技术，通过并行成像、多带激发和压缩感知等方法，优化非人灵长类脑部纤维通路和功能连接的影像检测，提高影像数据质量，以支持神经影像学在脑疾病模型研究中的深入应用。
