ABOUT the FNNDSC
We are the FNNDSC, or the Fetal-Neonatal Neuroimaging and Developmental Science Center, located at Boston Children's Hospital. Our multidisciplinary team is made up of researchers from the fields of medicine, engineering, computer science, and neuroscience.
Our passion is to drive medical innovation through research and computation. We aim to advance the fields of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetoencephalography (MEG), and Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS), while providing novel analytics and infrastructure in the Advanced Computing Group (ACG). The Center’s researchers work together to support and foster cutting edge clinical and translational science, and to work diligently in bringing those products to the research and clinical communities.
