Review: The Role of Histone Deacetylases in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Nicole Zurcher Wimmer, Jacob Hooker and colleagues recently reviewed research on relationships between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and histone deacetylases (HDACs).
Meher Juttukonda
Dr. Juttukonda’s research interests are in studying the balance between hemodynamic and metabolic function in the human brain as well as in the translation of these methods for characterizing microvascular health in cerebrovascular diseases. A principal objective of his work has been to develop q...
Christian Farrar
The Farrar group's research program is focused on the development of novel Magnetic Resonance molecular imaging contrast agents and methods and on the development of innovative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) methods for characterizing vascular structure and function. The tools being developed i...

Martinos Center Benefactors Honored by the Greek Orthodox Church
Many biomedical research centers have been named in honor of the donors who, through their generous support, are helping to advance work done in the particular areas of investigation. We know these donors’ names, and associate them with the research the centers produce. Less familiar to us, thoug...
Science on Tap
Science on Tap is a weekly Friday afternoon social where members of the Martinos community gather to eat, maybe have a libation or two, and get to know each other’s work a little better. Every meeting features a 10 to 15 minute talk by a Martinos employee about their latest research, including wo...
Joseph Mandeville
Dr. Mandeville focuses on understanding relationships between imaging signals and physiology and using this information to improve information content derived from noninvasive neuroimaging. Research leverages all aspects of multimodal imaging to understand functional imaging methods and the brain...

Dr. Deisboeck is an Associate Professor of Radiology (PT) at Massachusetts General Hospital and Har...
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...
