About the MGH/HST Martinos Center
The Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital is one of the world’s premier research centers devoted to development and application of advanced biomedical imaging technologies. Our mission is to advance imaging in healthcare through technology development, translational research and education.
Located on the MGH Research Campus in Charlestown, the Center is home to roughly 100 faculty researchers and more than 200 affiliated and visiting faculty, postdoctoral research fellows and graduate students, who use advanced imaging technologies both separately and in concert to investigate a broad range of biologically and medically important questions.

Principal Investigator
David Salat
Associate Professor in Radiology, Harvard Medical School
Assistant Neuroscientist, Massachusetts General Hospital
PhD Behavioral Neuroscience, Oregon Health and Science University
David’s research examines structural and functional changes in the brain with aging and age-associated neurodegenerative disease. A primary focus of this work is to determine how the common decline in vascular health with advancing age contributes to neurodegenerative changes, cognitive attenuation and the development of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Through these studies, we hope to advance procedures for the clinical utilization of imaging technology in the diagnosis, characterization and tracking of neurodegenerative disease as well as towards advancing understanding of the pathological mechanisms that cause dementia.
