🚨New manuscript from the team 🥳🥳

Looking forward to the upcoming months, a new #PostDoc joining the lab in May, and some nice presentations at the #AAIC conference in Toronto in July!

The postmortem #MRI and #neuropathology research is also going really well, three PhD students submitted their very first #reviewer #rebuttals, so fingers crossed on some good news and manuscripts to share soon! Very #proud of them.

In March I presented at the #Brain #Imaging symposium of @amsneuroscience.bsky.social. 20 years of postmortem imaging in 20 minutes, with an emphasis on recent developments and future plans. #chocolategift

We had a fantastic start in January with the PhD defense of Chen-Pei Lin on the pathological sensitivity of diffusion #MRI in #neuromodulatory systems. Supported by the MJFF for Parkinson’s disease.
