Presidential Young Investigator Award

该奖项为PYI奖提供资金，奖励对开发非侵入性方法用于包括人体组织在内的复杂材料的图像分析感兴趣的杰出年轻科学家。麦克法兰博士在核工程、医学工程和医学方面接受过广泛的培训。在本提案中，他将重点介绍使用NMR进行图像分析，特别是分析反映生化反应动力学的图像。计划中的研究将对生物和非生物材料的无损成像领域做出实质性和重要的贡献。

This award provides funds for a PYI award to an outstanding young scientist interested in the development of non-invasive methods for image analysis of complex materials including human tissues. Dr. Mcfarland has had a broad training in nuclear engineering, medical engineering and medicine. In this proposal, he will focus on the use of NMR for the image analysis, in particular, the analysis of images that reflect biochemical reaction kinetics. The planned research will make substantial and important contributions to the field of non-destructive imaging of biological and non-biological materials.
