    Celebrating Women in Science at Mass General

    By Gloria Rosado | Women in Science | 0 comment | 29 November, 2018 | 0

    The Mass General Research Institute is made up of numerous centers, labs and researchers within the Massachusetts General Hospital. We are incredibly grateful to be a part of such a large community of innovative scientists.

    One of our centers, the Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, recently highlighted several of their researchers to support women in science, and we thought we would spread the love!

    Read on to get to know a few of the inspiring women in science at the 
    Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging.

    Meet Jennifer! She is currently completing a joint #research and clinical fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Jennifer spends one day/week at the Psychology Assessment Center conducting neuropsychological assessments with patients experiencing cognitive difficulties due to a variety of etiologies, including Alzheimer’s disease, frontal temporal dementia, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and brain injury.
