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...

Susie Huang Receives Jim Thrall, MD, Mentoring Award
The Martinos Center's Susie Huang, MD, PhD, was one of two research faculty in the Department of Radiology at Massachusetts Hospital to receive the 2024 Jim Thrall, MD, Mentoring Award. The award was established to recognize and honor mentoring contributions of faculty who have demonstrated susta...
The (Totally True) Legend of Thomas Witzel and the Ultrahigh-field MRI Quench
Sometimes we get the hero we need. In the summer of 2017, the 7T MRI scanner at the MGH Martinos Center suffered a quench: a sudden loss of superconductivity resulting in a complete loss of the scanner’s magnetic field. In short, it broke. Without a magnetic field, the instrument was inoperabl...
‘Women in Science’ Series Tackles Sexism, Other Issues
The MGH Martinos Center’s first-ever “Women in Science” seminar series, held this spring, brought together investigators, staff and others from throughout the community for a host of important and thought-provoking discussions. The series proved so successful the organizers are planning to hold a...
20+20 Vision: 40 Years on the Cutting Edge of Science and Care
We are thrilled to announce the publication of 20+20 Vision: 40 Years on the Cutting Edge of Science and Care, a Martinos Center coffee table book. In 1980, a scrappy group of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital banded together to explore the potential of a recently introduced techno...
Radiology Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Research Subcommittee
The Radiology Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Research Subcommittee at the Martinos Center has gathered a number of resources to help promote diversity, equity and inclusion at the Center and elsewhere. Youth Programs Following is a list of programs through which Martinos faculty and other rese...
‘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...
New Software Improves Ability to Determine the Cause of Stroke
Determining the cause of an ischemic stroke is critical to preventing a second one and is a primary focus in the evaluation of stroke patients. But for all the importance of identifying the cause, physicians have long lacked a robust and objective means to do so. Now a team of investigators at...
The Possible Role of Glow Sticks—Yes, Glow Sticks—in Treating Alzheimer’s
A new imaging probe that could help to advance therapies for Alzheimer’s disease draws its inspiration from an unlikely source. Research suggests that Alzheimer’s is closely associated with increased levels of ‘reactive oxygen species’ (ROS) in the brain, but actual, in vivo evidence of this h...
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...
