Welcome to the Laboratory of Li Shen at the Indiana University School of Medicine. Our lab is focused on research and training in medical image computing and bioinformatics. We study computational and informatics methods for analyzing structural, functional, diffusion MRI data and relating them to genomic, clinical, neuropsychiatric and other biomarker data, with applications to various brain disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, and others. A major current emphasis is on developing methods for bridging neuroimaging and genomics (e.g., identifying genetic risk factors using imaging as phenotypes) with particular application to MCI and early AD. Keywords describing our research areas include medical image computing, shape modeling and surface morphometry, imaging genomics and bioinformatics, and machine learning and pattern classification.

See our Positions page for current openings. We are consistantly looking for (1) motivated PhD students (from Indiana University or Purdue University) and (2) postdoctoral fellows with background in medical image computing, genetics, CS, informatics, or engineering to work with our group on advanced neuroimaging and bioinformatics technology development and application. Please check our Publications and Research pages for more information about our research activities. If you are interested, please email me (shenli@iupui.edu) for additional information.
