Development of a novel CEST MRI technique to detect ARV-induced neurodevelopmental impairments in rodent embryos, aiming to identify early biomarkers of neurotoxicity.

Description

This project aims to develop a non-invasive chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI technique to identify neurodevelopmental impairments caused by antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) in rodent embryos during gestation. The goal is to uncover early biomarkers of neurotoxicity and understand the underlying mechanisms.
