Research summary

Ulrike Dydak's research uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS), techniques that measure brain and body chemistry and structure non-invasively, to study neurological and metabolic health. A major focus is on how toxic metal exposure (such as manganese from welding fumes) affects the brain, alongside work on brain chemistry changes in conditions like depression, PTSD, and hormonal cycles, and applications of MRI to kidney, liver, and thyroid function.
