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...
With New PET Probe, Researchers Image Fibrosis of the Lungs
The MGH Martinos Center's Pauline Désogère and colleagues have described a new positron emission tomography (PET) probe that can help to advance noninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis. Reported in a Science Translational Medicine paper published online today, the probe enables detection and ...
‘Martinnovate’ Seminar Series Boosts Innovation at Martinos
The Martinos Center has always been a hotbed of entrepreneurship. Over the years, innumerable investigators and staff have launched companies seeking to commercialize products they have developed as part of their research. A new seminar series in the center aims to support this entrepreneuria...
Matt Rosen and Colleagues’ Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants
In the waning months of 1979, the legendary Motown artist Stevie Wonder released an album called Stevie Wonder’s Journey Through "The Secret Life of Plants," the soundtrack to the documentary film The Secret Life of Plants. Equal parts frustrating and strangely compelling, and notably using some ...
Advanced MRI of Spinal Cord Function Could Provide Important Information for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
A team of investigators at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and Vanderbilt University Medical Center has reported a new approach to measuring spinal cord function that could help in more accurately understanding the degree of spinal cord damage in relapsing-remitting multiple sclero...
Capital Contributions
Ever since the Martinos family’s first capital gift to create the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in 1999, the Center has benefited from the generosity of its supporters. Capital gifts, generally to the physical center or endowment, differ from annual support. Instead, capi...
