Our research group is dedicated to advancing the understanding of human brain structure and function through cutting-edge neuroimaging techniques.

Leveraging the power of ultra-high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including the latest generation Siemens Terra.X 7 Tesla MRI system, we investigate the brain at unprecedented spatial resolution with enhanced contrast-to-noise ratio. We are based at the Cooperative Brain Imaging Center where we also have access to state-of-the-art Siemens Prisma 3 Tesla systems with the same software version that allows translation of our approaches to this field strength. We collaborate with multiple national and international ultra-high-field MRI labs.

Our work spans multiple domains of cognitive and clinical neuroscience, with particular focus on:

• High-resolution structural, perfusion and functional mapping of the human cortex and subcortical regions
• Quantitative MRI techniques to assess tissue vascularization, microstructure, myelination, and iron content
• Resting-state and task-based fMRI to probe neural connectivity and brain dynamics
• Development of advanced MRI sequences and analysis pipelines for both 7T and 3T systems
• Translational applications in neurodegenerative disorders, psychiatric conditions, and neurodevelopmental studies

By combining methodological innovation with multidisciplinary collaboration, our goal is to push the boundaries of what is possible in human neuroimaging, contributing to both fundamental neuroscience and clinical insight.
