Raag Airan

Assistant Professor of Radiology (Neuroimaging and Neurointervention) and, by courtesy, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and of Materials Science and Engineering

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur goal is to develop and clinically implement new technologies for high-precision and noninvasive intervention upon the nervous system. Every few millimeters of the brain is functionally distinct, and different parts of the brain may have counteracting responses to therapy. To better match our therapies to neuroscience, we develop techniques that allow intervention upon only the right part of the nervous system at the right time, using technologies like focused ultrasound and nanotechnology.

Teddy J. Akiki, MD

Affiliate, Psych/Major Laboratories and Clinical & Translational Neurosciences Incubator

BioTeddy Akiki's research is focused on the development of rapid-acting therapeutics for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD (glutamatergic antidepressants such as ketamine, psychedelic compounds, and brain stimulation), precision psychiatry, and understanding the neural underpinnings of trauma- and stress-related disorders (neuroimaging, network neuroscience, computational modeling).
