Director: Scott Hwang, MD, PhD
The Center for NMR Research was founded in 1988 by the Penn State Health Department of Radiology, receiving funding as a Bioengineering Research Partnership through the NIBIB. CNMRR is a state-of-the-art research facility focusing on two fronts: first, methodology development in magnetic resonance imaging/spectroscopy, functional MRI and their clinical applications in human models (including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury and concussion) and animal models; and second, radiofrequency magnetic field engineering. The research faculty in the CNMRR, collaborate with and support research activities and provide imaging analysis software to interested researchers.
