Instructors:
Jennie Chen, PhD; Department of Radiology. Recent faculty at Northwestern where she obtained her PhD in Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Chen has extensive experience in BOLD and Perfusion methods in MRI.
Darren Gitelman, MD; Department of Neurology. Experienced neuroscience researcher with a focus on Neuroimaging methods, applications towards language and aging, and analysis methods.
Todd Parrish, PhD; Department of Radiology. Experienced MRI researcher with a focus on developing Neuroimaging methods and applications.
Xue Wang, PhD; Department of Radiology. Recent faculty at Northwestern where she was a post-doctoral fellow. Xue has extensive experience in data analysis methods related to all types of neuroimaging methods including MRI and EEG.
Tom Gallagher, MD; Assistant Professor, Department of Radiology. Northwestern University. Tom is a Neuroradiologist attending who has been putting these advanced neuroimaging methods into practice for the past several years. His interests lie in the area of resting state connectivity and diffusion imaging with higher models of diffusion.
