Adam Eggebrecht, an associate professor of radiology at WashU Medicine, received $4 million from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to disseminate powerful cloud-based resources to the brain mapping community.
A researcher at WashU Medicine's Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR), Eggebrecht and collaborators - including Muriah Wheelock, an assistant professor of radiology, and Daniel Marcus, a professor of radiology - aim to harmonize the numerous optical measurement strategies within a growing neuroimaging community. Optical brain imaging, the focus of the research Eggebrecht conducts in his Brain Light Laboratory, uses near-infrared light to noninvasively image the brain.
