Relief is closing all 400 tabs and pdfs after an F31 NRSA submission. Send positive vibes to the NIH for me! 🤞🧠

Got my brain scanned on the first portable MRI today! Thanks Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® System–Hyperfine, Inc for coming to the Waisman Center today!

Looking forward to presenting my work “Tract- and Gray Matter- Based Spatial Statistics Show Microstructural Alterations in Autism Spectrum Disorder” as a power pitch oral presentation & digital poster at #ISMRM2022 in London this May! 👩🏻‍🔬🧠

Love seeing my friends succeed!

🚨 PROUD FRIEND MOMENT 🚨 Congratulations Lauren!! Hard work pays off !!!!

Had the opportunity to give a quick research talk to my peers and hear about their awesome work last week at UW-Madison NTP Reconnectome Symposium!

My first two first author publications have been accepted this week! I’m excited to share the first of them using advanced diffusion MRI to show gray matter microstructural differences in autistic individuals using GBSS. doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl…

This year, I spent a considerable amount of time putting together a timely review at the start of the HBCD project on applications advanced diffusion methods in early brain development! It’s finally out, so check it out here! 🧠 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Review: Applications of advanced diffusion MRI in early brain development: a comprehensive review Marissa DiPiero et al. doi.org/10.1007/s00429… (3/22)

Had so much fun presenting my latest work on adapting the GBSS framework for the 1 month brain at UW-Madison Department of Pediatrics Research Week!

Another successful #ISMRM in the books! I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to share my work with and learn from the pioneers in MRI research, including The Moose 🫎

So excited to share our latest work investigating white and gray matter microstructural differences in autistic males and associations with clinical features 🧠 Check it out in Frontiers - Neuroscience frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

A new study by Doug Dean, Waisman investigator, showcases that the structure of the brain is different between autistic adults and neurotypical adults. This could lead to important insights into how the differences relate to ASD symptoms. Check it out! waisman.wisc.edu/2024/01/08/stu…

Upgraded to: Marissa DiPiero, PhD ✨ I’m so excited to begin my postdoctoral training this summer as part of T32 program at the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities at UNC Chapel Hill!

The final unpublished chapter of my dissertation is finally available! Check it out in Brain Structure & Function Here, we modify the NODDI GBSS framework for the infant brain and describe early age-related associations within the developing cortex. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
