Nanodiamonds – synthetic industrial diamonds only a few nanometers in size – have recently attracted considerable attention because of the potential they offer for the targeted delivery of vaccines and cancer drugs as well as for other uses. Thus far, options for imaging nanodiamonds have been li...

Bruce Rosen to Be Inducted Into National Academy of Inventors
Bruce Rosen, director of the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, has been elected as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). He was chosen for induction, according to a statement by the NAI Fellows Selection Committee, because he has “demonstrated a highly prolific spirit ...
The Road to MPI
Functional MRI has proved a transformative technology, yielding previously unimaginable insights into the workings of the brain. But what if there were another approach, one with dramatically higher sensitivity, that could shed even more light on these mysteries? What might we learn then? Larry ...
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...

The Epigenetics of Aging: Understanding neurodegeneration at the gene transcription level
Over the past century, life expectancy has doubled. Consider for a moment the impact of this factoid on our interpretation of the aging brain. Prior to the 20thcentury – indeed, throughout nearly all of history – there was likely no evolutionary pressure for humans to live beyond reproductive age...
The Past, Present and Future of Molecular Imaging @ Martinos
Over the past several months, the MGH Martinos Center has been both celebrating the past and looking toward the future of its molecular imaging effort – with a symposium held last fall and now a series of initiatives designed to bolster the molecular imaging community. While there has always b...
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...

All in a Day’s Work: Veronica Clavijo Jordan on tackling cancer and crowdfunding molecular imaging research
As a child in La Paz, Bolivia, Veronica Clavijo Jordan was intrigued by science and medicine. “I used to love astronomy and biology,” she says. “I particularly remember loving the biology classes where we had lab and learned about anatomy.” Today, as an instructor in the MGH Martinos Center in Ch...
The Neuroscience of Personal Space
We all have a need for personal space, the comfort zone we maintain around our bodies, implicitly entreating others not to encroach upon it. In recent years researchers have been probing the ways in which we regulate this space, looking at how and why our brains tell us when someone is simply ...
Early Screening of ASD With a New Eye-tracking Paradigm
Studies have shown that early diagnosis and intervention significantly impact the prognosis of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD): the earlier the detection and diagnosis, the better the prognosis and functional status later in life. Currently, the average age of diagnosis is approxi...
A New Optical Imaging Tool to Visualize Disease Through ‘Multiplexing’
A team of investigators at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging has developed a tool that will allow researchers to measure multiple biological components or processes at the same time, opening up a host of applications, especially related to the study of disease. They describe the tool...
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...
‘Pioneer Campfires’ Offer Stories of the Early Days of fMRI
Imagine sitting by a campfire, listening to trailblazers and other witnesses to key moments in the history of MRI as they casually recount the untold stories behind seminal papers or inventions. Attendees of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) 2019 Annual Meeting ...

Uncovering ‘Covert Consciousness’ in Brain Injury Patients
In a paper published in the journal Brain last month Brian Edlow and colleagues reported a study in which they used the imaging techniques functional MRI and EEG to detect ‘covert consciousness’ in the intensive care unit. We checked in with Edlow, associate director of the Center for Neurotechno...
