Dr. Teddy Salan is a Research Assistant Professor in Radiology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, serving on the faculty since 2023. His research combines advanced neuroimaging, computational modeling, and machine learning to study brain structure and function in HIV, substance use, and developmental disorders. He earned his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Memphis, where he developed FiberBlender, a model for diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) simulation. His work has been published in leading journals such as Frontiers in Neuroscience, PLoS One, and Journal of NeuroVirology, and he has presented at major international meetings including ISMRM, ASNR, and RSA. Supported by Miami CFAR and CHARM, his ongoing projects focus on evaluating the effects of long-acting antiretroviral therapies on brain health. Dr. Salan also serves as a peer reviewer for journals in biomedical imaging and has received Magna Cum Laude Merit Awards at ISMRM (2020, 2023) for his innovative imaging research. With a background in software development, he integrates engineering and clinical approaches to advance neuroimaging biomarkers for improved diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases.
