Ken Kwong and the Introduction of Noninvasive fMRI
In the early months of 1992 the neuroscience community was flush with excitement. Jack Belliveau, a graduate student with the MGH-NMR Center (now the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging), had recently published in Science his pioneering work with functional MRI, and the possibilities of th...
Human Whole-Brain Diffusion MRI Dataset Available Online
Reported by Fuyixue Wang and colleagues, it is the first publicly available reference dataset acquired in vivo at submillimeter resolution.
Christopher Nguyen
The Nguyen lab focuses on the development and clinical application of novel imaging techniques to characterize the cardiovascular system including MRI, optical, and PET. Our primary research interests fall into four general areas: (1) bio- inspired design for heart assisted devices (Science Robot...
Berkin Bilgic
MRI has demonstrated ability to provide exquisite contrast for non-invasive imaging. What limits its efficiency and sensitivity are the tradeoffs between scan time, resolution and signal-to-noise ratio. Dr. Bilgic's research is devoted to breaking this stalemate by developing new acquisition and ...
20 Years of FreeSurfer
It’s a sunny day in Southern California and the developers of FreeSurfer—a suite of software tools for the analysis of neuroimaging data—are preparing for a training session to introduce scientists to the many benefits of the package. To help the scientists find the classroom they have hung “Free...
The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: Skating to the Roller Derby World Cup
Eszter Boros is no stranger to sports. As a teenager in Switzerland she played tennis competitively, advancing several times to the finals in the national junior championships. And even after giving this up to focus on her studies in chemistry, she continued to stay active—running, cycling and ev...
The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: It’s Gonna Be a Lot Less Spooky Around Here
If you were in Building 149 of the Martinos Center on any given Halloween in the past decade, you might have come across a possibly startling scene: a nine-foot, anthropomorphic volcano wandering the halls; a moth-man with large, glowing eyes posing for photos; or maybe just a huge globule of glu...
Wellness Resources
To offer support to its staff and researchers, Partners, MGH, and several other groups have put together resources that address the challenges we may be facing in our day-to-day lives as we handle this unique situation. Here, we compile those resources & information to make it easier for you ...
New Bedside MRI Scanner Inspired by Martinos Center Research
Fundamental research by Professor Matthew Rosen, Director of the Low-Field Imaging Laboratory in the MGH Martinos Center, contributed to the early development of a new portable MRI scanner by Hyperfine Research Inc. The potentially game-changing technology will be introduced this week at the Amer...
Good News for PET Researchers: Radiotracer binding Is less sensitive to blood flow than previously thought
In a Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism paper published last month, the Martinos Center’s Christin Sander and colleagues resolved a longstanding question in positron emission tomography studies. PET has played a crucial role in receptor binding studies, shedding light on a range o...
The Secret Lives of Martinos Folk: Carol Barnstead and the Center’s cast of colorful characters
I have this theory that you need to be a character to work at the Martinos Center; you have to be a bit of an oddball, albeit in a fun, quirky kind of way. I’m not sure whether this is a prerequisite enforced during one of the hiring steps or is simply the result of some kind of self-selection pr...
Robert Savoy
Dr. Savoy received his academic training in applied mathematics at MIT (BS 1971; MS 1975) and experimental psychology at Harvard University (PhD 1980). This period included 10 years of work at Polaroid Corporation’s Vision Research Laboratory, after which he joined the newly formed Rowland Instit...
5 Things You Didn’t Know About David Cohen and MEG
Last week the MGH Martinos Center dedicated its advanced magnetoencephalography (MEG) facility as the David Cohen MEG Laboratory. Cohen—the inventor of MEG, a leader in the field of biomagnetism for more than 50 years, and a Martinos Center faculty member who was instrumental in building and deve...

Nutrition and Brain Growth in the Developing World
The aging pickup truck bounces along a dirt road somewhere outside Bissora, one of the larger towns in the Oio region of the West African nation of Guinea-Bissau. The road, a major thoroughfare in the region, is pocked with holes. The rest of the year these would be deep and dusty. But it’s July ...
