The American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR) has awarded Hsiao-Ying (Monica) Wey, PhD, an investigator in the MGH Martinos Center and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School,with a 2017 New Investigator Award in Alzheimer’s Disease. The program is funded by The Rosalinde and Arthur ...
Meet Nilson Fernandes, the New Operations Director for the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging
This week, the Center welcomes a new member to the Martinos community: Nilson Fernandes, MHM, who will oversee operations of the Center's always expanding imaging core. He is the first person to occupy the newly created position of Operations Director. In this brief Q&A, Nilson tells us ab...
The Secret Lives Of Martinos Folk: Radio, Nerds, and Where Punk and Science Meet
When you hear the words "MIT radio station" you might imagine a group of nervous, bow tie-clad engineers crowded around a chalkboard with a Venn diagram of Roger Dean album covers and Silmarillion references. And you might be forgiven if you did. Such stereotypes of science and engineering studen...
Magnetoencephalography Aids Diagnosis and Treatment of Epilepsy, Other Disorders
Originally used only for research purposes, magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been introduced into clinical care in recent decades. With applications in epilepsy already benefiting from its use, and still others on the horizon, the technique is helping to advance diagnosis and treatment for a rang...
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...
Peter Caravan and Kenneth Kwong Named ISMRM Fellows
The Martinos Center’s Peter Caravan and Kenneth Kwong were welcomed to the ranks of ISMRM Fellows at the 2019 annual meeting of ISMRM held in May in Montreal. The honor recognizes the incalculable contributions each has made to the field of biomedical imaging. Both researchers have played sign...
Understanding Eye-contact Avoidance in People With Autism
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty looking others in the eyes. This is typically interpreted as a sign of social and personal indifference, but self-reports from people with autism suggests otherwise. Many say that looking others in the eye is uncomfortable or s...
Home Hospital Innovation Challenge Showcases Imaging Technologies of Tomorrow
