Conference Description
The In Vivo Magnetic Resonance GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
The world is in a period of rapid change, from climate change, to the Covid 19 pandemic, to the aging population. The focus of this GRC is on how MRI is adapting to some of these changes. We first focus on sustainability of MRI and the spread of MRI into the Global South. We look back at the Covid 19 pandemic and how we are preparing for the next pandemic. We focus on new tools in biomaterials, diagnostics, and brain stimulation. We round out the conference with a focus on emerging clinical fields and a focus on how MRI can be used to study the aging population.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by March 16, 2024. Please check back for updates.
