ReproNim 'First Fridays' Webinar – Friday, September 5, at 2pm Eastern Time

ReproNim First Fridays Webinars resume!

Our featured speaker this month is Anastasia Yendeki<https://www.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/user/6737>, (Associate Professor in Radiology, and Director of Circuitry Analysis, Laboratory for Computational Neuroimaging at the Martinos Center/Harvard Medical School). Anastasia is something of an interdisciplinary tour de force in her own right in the world of diffusion MRI, in both imaging methods and their applications. She has remarkable depth and breadth of expertise, with a multi-pronged and coherent approach to integrating MRI methods, computational processing and anatomically refined brain mapping for white matter tractography, with a particular emphasis on diffusion-weighted MRI detection and reconstruction of white matter tractography. (see her Bio below).


Speaker: Anastasia Yendiki, PhD<https://www.martinos.org/investigator/anastasia-yendiki/>

Title: "We're going to need a bigger boat: Scaling human neuroimaging to meso- and microscopic resolutions."



Bio:

Anastasia Yendiki is Associate Professor in Radiology at Harvard Medical School and Associate Investigator at Massachusetts General Hospital, Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. She is the lead PI of the center for Large-scale Imaging of Neural Circuits (LINC<https://connects.mgh.harvard.edu/>), a multi-institutional consortium funded by the NIH BRAIN Initiative CONNECTS<https://www.ninds.nih.gov/news-events/news/highlights-announcements/nih-brain-initiative-launches-projects-develop-innovative-technologies-map-brain-incredible-detail> program, with the aim of imaging human and non-human primate brain circuitry across scales. Anastasia received her Ph.D in Electrical Engineering: Systems from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where she worked on inverse problems in tomographic image reconstruction. She then moved to the Martinos Center, first as a postdoc and then as a faculty member. There she developed TRACULA<https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Tracula>, the diffusion tractography toolbox in the FreeSurfer software package. Her current interests are in obtaining accurate models of white-matter fiber bundles from microscopy techniques, such as anatomic tracing and optical imaging, and developing methods that can take advantage of these post mortem models to infer connectional anatomy from in vivo diffusion MRI.
