Peter Caravan Promoted to Full Professor
The Center's Peter Caravan has been named Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School. Caravan is Director of a multidisciplinary and translational molecular imaging group at the Center (the Caravan Lab) and co-director of the Institute for Innovation in Imaging (I3) at Massachusetts Gene...
Magnetoencephalography & Electroencephalography
The MEG/EEG facility is equipped with a dc-SQUID Neuromag Vectorview MEG system that allows noninvasive spatiotemporal mapping of human brain activity. The Neuromag system has 306 MEG channels (2 planar gradiometers and a magnetometer at each of 102 sites in a helmet-shaped array) and 128 EEG cha...
Jerome Ackerman
Jerome Ackerman, PhD, has conducted research in magnetic resonance for over 45 years, and has led the solid-state MR program at MGH for over 30 years. As of May, 2019, his work (over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles, reviews, chapters and patents; over 200 abstracts) has been cited 5048 times (...
Home Hospital Innovation Challenge Showcases Imaging Technologies of Tomorrow
On Thursday, May 18, the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging hosted the Home Hospital Innovation Challenge: a Shark Tank-like event in which researchers pitched ideas for novel biomedical imaging technologies that could be commercialized to meet a growing call for hospital-level care provi...
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...
John Kirsch
John Kirsch, PhD, is a radiological physicist by training and education, whose interest and experience have been in MRI technology for the majority of his career. He contributed significantly to the early pioneering development of clinical applications for MRI as well as to the design and improve...
Q&A: Susan Whitfield-Gabrieli on Managing Anxiety and Depression with Mindfulness-Based fMRI Neurofeedback
In a paper recently published in Molecular Psychiatry, Martinos affiliated faculty member Susan Whitfield-Gabrieli and colleagues describe a mindfulness-based fMRI neurofeedback approach they have developed and highlight its potential in treating adolescents with a history of anxiety and depressi...
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...
Molecular Imaging Seminar Series
The Molecular Imaging seminar series is a Center-wide seminar series. Molecular Imaging represents a multidisciplinary effort exploiting the convergence of imagine-capture techniques, basic cell/molecular biology, chemistry, medicine, and pharmacology. Talks are presented by invited speakers from...
Understanding the Patient-Clinician Relationship with ‘Hyperscanning’ fMRI
The quality of the patient-clinician relationship is widely held to impact a patient’s response to treatment. Exactly how, though, has long remained a mystery. In a study reported in October 2020, Martinos Center researchers began to explore the questions of which parts of the brain and which typ...
Maria Angela Franceschini Inducted into Medical and Biological Engineering Elite
The American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) has announced the induction of Maria Angela Franceschini, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Radiology at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, to its College of Fellows. Franceschini was nominated, reviewed and elected by...
Eric Gale
Dr. Gale applies chemistry to solve unmet challenges in radiology and biomedical imaging. A major area of current focus is developing magnetic resonance imaging probes to non-invasively map and quantify pathologic change at the molecular level. His group is capitalizing on the transition metal p...
Shasha Li
Shasha Li, M.D., Ph.D., joined the faculty at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) with the goal of improving the understanding of the physiological implications of altered neural networks in neurological diseases. She has made substantial contributions to the fie...
‘It’s All in the Eyes’: The role of the amygdala in the experience and perception of fear
Researchers have long believed that the amygdala, an almond-shaped structure in the brain, is central to the experience and perception of fear. Studies initiated in the 1990s of a patient with a rare condition affecting the amygdala initially seemed to support this conclusion. However, as the MGH...
Lucia Navarro de Lara
My research is focused on elucidating the mechanisms of network-level brain responses to non-invasive brain stimulation methods. Based on the development of the “RF-EEG Cap”, the first-of-its-kind wearable RF head coil and the related signal processing tools, I envision a complete solution for co...
