Dr. Pramod Pisharady is an Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota, holding a joint appointment in the departments of Neurology and Radiology. His PhD was in Computer Vision and Machine Learning from the National University of Singapore (NUS). He did his postdoctoral research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Minnesota’s Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR). Dr. Pisharady is a recipient of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) Imaging Scientist grant award, and his research is supported by grants from the FDA, NIH, and the State of Minnesota.
He has been researching the development of imaging biomarkers in ALS for the last 10 years and is currently leading a multicenter MRI study in ALS. Dr. Pisharady is also working at the interface of MRI and microscopy to develop methods that bridge the information gap between macroscale and microscale imaging, with the objective of applying these methods to detect disease-related structural changes in the central nervous system in neurological disorders.
