    Dr. Jingwen Yao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiological Sciences at UCLA and a faculty member of the Physics & Biology in Medicine graduate program. She earned her M.B.B.S. in China and completed her Ph.D. in Bioengineering at UCLA, followed by postdoctoral training at UCSF. Dr. Yao's research is centered on developing advanced MRI techniques for applications in brain tumors and other neurological diseases. She is particularly interested in developing and validating MRI biomarkers that reflect physiological and pathological tissue properties for disease progression monitoring and treatment effect assessment.

    Dr. Yao’s current research includes (1) developing and validating imaging biomarkers sensitive to the brain tumor microenvironment, such as tissue acidity, immune infiltration, and tumor vasculature, (2) developing and applying advanced imaging for pathophysiological characterization and treatment targeting in movement disorders. Her research encompasses various aspects of biomarker development, including sequence development, image acquisition and reconstruction, post-processing, quantitative image analysis, and clinical translation and evaluation.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication.
