Collaborations

The Martinos Center engages in a wide range of collaborations with industry partners, academic researchers, and government agencies to accelerate innovation in imaging science and translate new methods into real-world impact. These collaborations can span the full research pipeline—from co-developing next-generation MRI, PET, MEG, and ultrasound technologies; advancing AI, modeling, and computational tools; and creating new neuroimaging biomarkers, to supporting early-stage feasibility studies that de-risk novel ideas. Partnerships may involve shared expertise and infrastructure, multi-site consortia and data-driven studies, joint research programs, sponsored research agreements, and coordinated efforts to validate techniques across diverse settings and populations.

The Center also supports collaborative work that bridges basic discovery and clinical translation, including projects focused on neuroscience, brain health, and precision diagnostics, as well as applications in oncology, cardiology, and other domains where imaging can change decision-making. Industry collaborations may include technology prototyping, evaluation of emerging hardware or software, workflow testing, and clinical validation, while academic and government partnerships often emphasize rigorous method development, reproducibility, training, and open scientific exchange. Across these engagement models, Martinos collaborators benefit from access to deep technical expertise, cross-disciplinary teams, and a track record of turning ambitious imaging ideas into tools and approaches that can be adopted at scale.
