This week, I had the chance to present my work at the 19th EMIM and I’m excited to share that I got the best poster award! It was great to learn about new imaging techniques in such a diverse environment and to share this experience with all my lab mates from Shemesh Lab! 🧠🧲

The report of the First ASL Challenge is finally out! Please find it in the link below. I would like to acknowledge the OSIPI TF 6.1 and all the co-authors of this manuscript and the challenge participants. I am honored to be among many bright minds. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mr…

Very happy to have contributed to this important work by The OSIPI ASL MRI Challenge (2021) on the reproducibility of ASL MRI perfusion imaging, with monteiro and Catarina Domingos LaSEEB @DBioengineering

Interested in brain perfusion? Go to Sara Monteiro's presentation, "High Resolution PCASL Mapping Of Perfusion In The Mouse Brain", Imaging Brain Anatomy & Physiology session, 8.15.

Implication of the vascular system in Parkinsons' Disease? Don't miss Sara Monteiro work "Perfusion Dynamics In A Mouse Line Of Parkinson’S Disease", Parkinson's Disease II session, 9.15.

Wrapping up this very intense ISMRM week! I had the pleasure of presenting my work about pCASL mouse imaging as an oral presentation and a digital poster. If you want to know more about it, our preprint is already available at biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 😊 Shemesh Lab LaSEEB

Great news! You have one last chance to share your work at the 4th Annual Meeting of the Iberian Chapter, in Porto, July 2-3 2024 i3s.up.pt/event.php?v=303

This week at the annual ChampalimaudResearch retreat! Two super interesting talks on the impact of funding in the quality of science 💸 🔬& science and creativity 🧬🎨

Another preprint from the Lab: Sara Pires Monteiro, Lydiane Hirschler, Emmanuel Barbier, and Patrícia Figueiredo demonstrate how to improve spatial resolution in rodent pCASL MRI by an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

It was a great first day at ISMRM Iberian Chapter at i3S-Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde with the talks of three of my lab mates, Inês, Catarina and Sara Pires Monteiro. So nice to see their work come into fruition! Check out the thread🧵 (1/3) to see their work. Looking forward to today's presentations

(3/3🧵) And Sara Pires Monteiro's preprint on a brand new experimental setup that increases resolution in preclinical MRI: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Today, we had a bit of champagne to honor Joana Carvalho and Andrada Ianus , who are starting their own Labs very (!!!) soon. It's an end of an era in the Lab. Joana and Andrada, It was a real pleasure to work together. Exciting times await you, & I wish you my utmost best!

Very proud - Sara Pires Monteiro (co-supervised by Patrícia Figueiredo) developed a new experimental setup for higher resolution (>x10 ) CBF mapping in rodents, with sequences by our collaborators Emmanuel Barbier and Lydiane Hirschler shorturl.at/YIaC3 Setup designs are provided!

Using her setup, Sara Pires Monteiro showed that the CBF mapping can be done not only with higher resolution, biut also, provide much more reproducible CBF maps. e.g. here:

Sara Pires Monteiro she also showed utility in stroke models:

Congratulations Sara Pires Monteiro! It's incredible to see that by using your new experimental setup, such amazing results can be found. Keep up the good work!🚀💪
