This seminar will be held in the Jerome L. Greene Science Center (9th floor lecture hall) on Columbia's Manhattanville campus.
About Michela Tosetti
Dr. Tosetti is a physicist who has dedicated her research career to the development of Magnetic Resonance (MR) for in vivo applications, with the specific interest of understanding cerebral mechanisms at various levels (structure, metabolism, function and connectivity) in order to define quantitative tools useful to better understand the complex anatomical, functional and organizational changes occurring in the brain, in particular during normal and abnormal development. In 1996 she personally contributed to setting up one of the first MR imaging centres in Italy, and has been Project Manager of the first installation (in 2011) of the only 7T MR human system in Italy. As Director of Medical Physics and Magnetic Resonance Laboratory of the Ultra High-Field Research Centre, she shares competence in a multidisciplinary manner and coordinates the complementary actions of people with very different professional backgrounds. She teaches Magnetic Resonance Physics at Pisa University since 2011, obtaining the Italian qualification of Full Professor in Applied Physics in 2013. She has a leading role in MR techniques and measurements in brain and in their clinical translation to the research of biomarkers in humans, coordinating the Italian methodological Researches in MR as well Grants and collaborations with both European and overseas MR groups.
