Welcome to UBC MSMRI Research Group!

We are a group of imaging researchers and clinicians with 30+ years of experience in central MRI analysis for clinical trials, novel myelin imaging research, and machine learning.

Current research activities:

• Advanced MR techniques including:
  • T2 relaxation (myelin water imaging)
  • Spectroscopy (MRS)
  • Magnetization transfer (MT) for phase 2 and phase 3 clinical trials
• Myelin water imaging atlas
• Rapid myelin water imaging sequences and analysis
• North American Imaging in MS Cooperative (NAIMS) MRI repository
• Canadian Prospective Cohort (CanProCo) study on progression imaging pillar
