A project lead by Dr. Richard Aviv and his group in Toronto (that we were collaborating on) has just been accepted for publication in Multiple Sclerosis Journal. It compares DCE perfusion imaging measures to white matter integrity and lesion volume throughout large-scale, functionally-defined brain networks (using our UManitoba-JHU Functionally-Defined White Matter Atlases). If you’d like to know more, feel free to check out the OnlineFirst version of the paper here.

Shatil’s first paper on ex vivo imaging accepted in Frontiers in Neurology
Congratulations to Shatil, whose paper has just been accepted in Frontiers in Neurology! I will add it to our Publications page once it has been typeset and posted on the journal website.
NSERC Discovery Grant and MS Society Grants Awarded!
I am ecstatic to announce an inflow of grant funding! We were successful in the last rounds of the NSERC Discovery Grant Competition, as well as the MS Society of Canada Operating Grants Competition. We are very grateful for this funding, as it will help to ensure that we are able to continue doing our research for the next several years!
New Staff Scientist (Dr. Nasir Uddin) Has Joined the Lab
Invited Review on Neuroimaging Applications of High Performance Computing Accepted
Congratulations to Shatil and Sohail, whose paper has just been accepted in Magnetic Resonance Insights! I will add it to our Publications page once it typeset and posted on the journal website.
The UManitoba-JHU Functionally-Defined Human White Matter Atlas goes live
Our functionally-defined white matter atlases (resulting from Teresa’s and Navdeep’s Frontiers in Human Neuroscience paper) have now been launched as a free, publicly-available resource to the broader neuroimaging community.
We are pleased to announce the launch of the UManitoba-JHU Functionally-Defined Human White Matter Atlas!!!
fMRI-Guided DTI Paper Accepted in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
Teresa’s and Navdeep’s paper has been accepted for publication in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. Please check it out here: http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fnhum.2015.00585/full
New MSc student (Kevin Solar) has joined the lab
There are several new faces up on the 7th floor in our Core NeuroImaging Lab, and I am pleased to announce that one of those belongs to a new Master’s student – Kevin Solar.
Kevin has entered through the Physiology & Pathophysiology Graduate Program, and will be co-supervised by Dr. Jennifer Kornelsen and myself. To find out more about Kevin, please feel free to visit the People page.
Welcome Kevin!
The NeuroImaging Core Lab is finally complete.
After a year of planning and renovations, I am very pleased to announce that the NeuroImaging Core Lab is finally complete. We are now ready to move everyone together in our beautiful new space (which I am also happy to announce has been equipped with a fancy new coffee maker)!
New Grad Students in Winnipeg
I am very glad to announce two very important new additions to the lab!
Sohail and Shatil have joined me as MSc students through the Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program. I am happy to report that they have arrived safely and seem to be settling well into their course-work, research projects and life in Winnipeg — although they have yet to experience their first Canadian winter 😉
If you are interested, please check out the People page for their bios.
