Jiongjiong WangProfessor

Dr. Wang is Professor of Neurology and Director of Imaging Technology Innovation in the Mark & Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California. He received Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and postdoc training in the Departments of Radiology and Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center. He has been an Assistant Professor of Radiology and Neurology at UPenn, Associate and Full Professor of Neurology and Radiology at UCLA before joining USC in 2016. During the past 20 years, Dr. Wang’s research has been focused on the technical development and clinical translations of novel functional and physiological Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technologies, in particular noninvasive blood flow/perfusion imaging. He has been supporting the scientific community by disseminating arterial spin labeling (ASL) sequences to approximately 200 Siemens imaging research centers around the world. His recent research interests include developing novel neuroimaging methods to understand neuromodulation effects on the brain. In addition to MRI, Dr. Wang has research interests in the technical development and clinical applications of Computed Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
