Scholar-generated biography
Christin Y Sander is an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School, specializing in neuroimaging techniques such as MRI and PET to study neuroreceptors and dopamine dynamics. Her research focuses on the functional imaging of brain glucose utilization, neurovascular coupling, and dopamine receptor occupancy. She explores how neurotransmitter dynamics, particularly dopamine, influence brain activity through simultaneous PET/MRI methods. Her work also addresses the challenges of quantifying neuroreceptor function and the role of aerobic glycolysis in neuroimaging. Sander's research contributes to understanding the biological basis of neuroimaging and the development of standardized nomenclature for molecular connectivity in PET.
