Education Experience

Research Summary

Prof. Tian's group focuses on molecular imaging with a particular emphasis on human major diseases. Her current research interests include molecular imaging of central nerve system (CNS) diseases & psychiatric disorders, imaging-based stem cell therapy for stroke, development of novel imaging strategies for a better understanding of underlying mechanism of brain. Her team has developed precision PET imaging approach on pediatric epilepsy and MRI-negative pre-operative epilepsy. Furthermore, Prof. Tian's group has extended their research on brain-machine interface (BMI), internet gaming disorder (IGD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), etc., and continually to develop big data-based smart diagnosis for neuro-psychiatric disorders, including AD, PD and others. Her group also develops novel molecular imaging agents or smart probes for precision theranostics.
