Congratulations to Nasir on the publication of his latest paper (in Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
Congratulations to Nasir, whose follow-up work (to his other recent paper in NMR in Biomedicine) has just been published in Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Outstanding work Nasir, keep the papers coming!
Congratulations to Sohail on the acceptance of his paper in the Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering
Congratulations to Sohail, whose recent submission to the The Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering has been accepted. The paper represents the first (and largest) half of Sohail’s MSc thesis work and is entitled “Development, Implementation and Validation of an Automatic Centerline Extraction Algorithm for Complex 3D Objects”. It is already available online ahead of print, and should be released soon as part of an upcoming special issue in the journal. Great job Sohail!
Congratulations to Shatil on the publication of his recent paper in Frontiers in Medicine!
Congratulations to Shatil and the rest of the team on the acceptance of our most recent paper in Frontiers in Medicine. The paper represents the second half of Shatil’s MSc thesis work and is entitled “Quantitative Ex Vivo MRI Changes due to Progressive Formalin Fixation in Whole Human Brain Specimens: Longitudinal Characterization of Diffusion, Relaxometry, and Myelin Water Fraction Measurements at 3T”. Congratulations Shatil!
Congratulations to Nasir on the acceptance of his recent submission to NMR In Biomedicine
Congratulations to Nasir and the rest of the team on the acceptance of our most recent paper in NMR in Biomedicine. The paper, which is now available online (ahead of print), is entitled “Can T1w/T2w ratio be used as a myelin-specific measure in subcortical structures? Comparisons between FSE-based T1w/T2w ratios, GRASE-based T1w/T2w ratios, and multi-echo GRASE-based myelin water fractions”. Nice work Nasir!
Well, it is finally official: Tiffany has been awarded a NSERC CGS PhD Scholarship! Way to go Tiffany!
Although Tiffany, Jenifer and I have known about this all summer, we were asked not to publicly disclose anything until NSERC released their official 2017 Scholarships and Fellowships Competition Results (which finally happened this morning and can be found here for anyone who might be interested). Therefore, after bottling this up for months, I would like to congratulate Tiffany for being awarded one of the ultra-competitive 3-year Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarships. Well done Tiffany…very well deserved!
Congratulations to Teresa and the rest of the team on the publication of their latest Frontiers paper
