Iman Beheshti, PhD
Founder, Cedar Kestrel Applied Sciences Inc. Research methods, brain imaging and the evaluation of predictive models.
Biography
Scientific depth, with a practical purpose.
Iman Beheshti is a researcher whose work connects quantitative methods, brain imaging and the evaluation of predictive models, with a PhD in biomedical engineering.
Dr. Beheshti’s research career runs from the National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry in Japan to Université Laval in Québec and the University of Manitoba. Across these positions, the work has covered how brain age is estimated from MRI, how its age bias should be corrected, how reliable it is over time, and what imaging can add to the study of aging, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
Cedar Kestrel was founded to bring that research discipline to clearly scoped engagements: a question that is understood, an analysis that is documented, and an output that a research team can examine and use. The standard is simple: explain what the evidence shows, and what it does not.
