History of ChemNeuro

The chemical neuroscience program at the Martinos Center was formed in 2019 by a core group of Harvard faculty members at Massachusetts General Hospital that had long collaborated through various career stages, particularly in the areas of radiotracer development and simultaneous MR-PET imaging.  The formation of the program solidified the organic collaborations into a model system for co-mentorship of future neuroscience imaging leaders and commitment to rigorous and impactful science.
