Changho Choi, PhD, completed B.S. and M.S. studies in physics in South Korea and earned his doctoral degree in physics from University of Waterloo, Canada in 1996, where he began to work in the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) field. Following several years of solid-state physics NMR research, Dr. Choi started to work in brain MR spectroscopy (MRS) at the University of Alberta, Canada in 2000. He continued brain MRS during his independent research period at UT Southwestern Medical Center, TX. Dr. Choi joined Vanderbilt Radiology as a research professor in 2022. Dr. Choi’s research is focused on development of MRS and identification of metabolic imaging biomarkers in patients with brain cancers (e.g., evaluation of IDH mutation status by 2HG MRS). Dr. Choi has a secondary faculty appointment at Psychiatry and conduct collaborative research with neuropsychiatrists. He is a member of the Society of Neuro-Oncology and the International Society of Magnetic Resonance for Medicine.

Li Min Chen, MD, PhD, earned her medical degree and Ph.D. from The Fourth Military Medical University in Xi’an, China. She completed a Brown-Coxe Postdoctoral Fellowship at Yale University School of Medicine. She joined the Vanderbilt faculty in 2003 and is currently tenured Associate Professor. Her current research centers on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying pain and touch, and the role of plasticity in mediating functional and behavioral recovery after spinal cord injury. Dr. Chen takes a multidisciplinary approach in her research. Her lab routinely uses functional MRI, advanced multiparametric MRI, electrical and focused ultrasound neuromodulation, in vivo electrophysiology, tract tracing histology, and behavioral assessments in animals. She is a member of the American Society for Neuroscience, International Association for the Study of Pain and Organization of Human Brian Mapping.

Charles Caskey, PhD, received his B.S. in Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2004 where he conducted undergraduate research on ultrasound elasticity imaging in the Panscopic Imaging Lab at Texas and developed RF coils for MRI while interning at the University of Rochester, New York. He received his Ph. D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of California at Davis in 2008 and is currently an Associate Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences and Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. His current research focuses on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultrasound with emphasis on image-guided therapy and drug delivery.
