Biography
Dr.
Ozkan Doganay is a medical physicist working with radiologists, lung
physiologists, physicists and engineers to develop functional imaging
techniques for early detection and quantification of lung diseases.
Dr.
Doganay pursued undergraduate studies in Physics at Ege University. Moving to
Canada in 2007, he completed his MSc in the Department of Biomedical Physics at
Ryerson University. He received his Ph.D. in the Department of Medical
Biophysics from the University of Western Ontario in 2015, where he earned a
national cancer-research-training award (CIHR in CaRTT).
He
went on to work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of
Oncology at the University of Oxford in 2015. His research focused on the
development of specialized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods for
detection of functional (i.e. gas exchange) abnormalities in lungs associated
with thoracic radiation treatment of cancer and lung ventilation disorders
including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Deceases (COPD) and asthma.
He
is currently an Assistant Prof at Ege University in the Institute of Health
Sciences. He builds a new laboratory, named Functional Lung Imaging
laboratories at Ege University Hospital Respiratory Diseases Center (EGE-SAM)
and develops novel hyperpolarized xenon MR imaging techniques.
His
research interests:
Development
of rapid and functional MR image acquisition techniques,
Design
of RF coils for both proton and non-proton MRI,
Design
of Xenon-129 polarizers,
Post-processing
and modeling of MR images,
Quantification
of lung gas exchange and ventilation including SPECT, CT, and Hyperpolarized
MRI for diagnosis of lung diseases including COPD, Asthma, COVID-19.
His
lab is Wellcome to graduate and undergraduate students and postdocs from
various disciplines.
