Launched in 2001, the Harvard Center for Neurodegeneration and Repair (HCNR) brings together Harvard medical community neuroscientists and neurologists interested in neurodegenerative diseases. BWH is one of six Harvard teaching hospitals affiliated with the HCNR, and through Dennis Selkoe, MD, played a significant role in the development of the new center. Selkoe has now been joined at the HCNR by over 100 BWH researchers, including Ferenc Jolesz, MD, director of the HCNR’s Brain Imaging Center.

Working with colleagues from HMS and BWH’s Department of Radiology, Jolesz is ready to open a new MRI research facility on the HMS quadrangle, providing researchers access to a 4.7 Tesla MRI system designed for animal brain research. The system enables BWH researchers to play an active role in the Brain Imaging Center and the many other HCNR programs that collectively represent a collaborative, cross-institutional framework for studying the brain, the diseases that afflict it, and promising new treatments.
