Hello, I'm Brenda!

I’m a staff research associate for the Obenaus Lab at the University of California, Irvine, School of Medicine. I conduct MRI-focused research and teach collaborators how to process their neuroimaging data. I have tested and implemented several automated processes for the Preclinical Translational Imaging Center at UCI, which has significantly decreased imaging analysis time.
