Simon J. Graham, PhD, P Eng
Dr. Graham is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto, Senior Scientist at the Rotman Research Institute, Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care in Toronto, and a founding member of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario Centre for Stroke Recovery. The author of 50 scientific papers and 4 patents, he has extensive research experience in MRI and fMRI technology spanning basic signal biophysics, sensory and cognitive neuroscience, development of fMRI-compatible devices, and technology transfer. His research is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, and the Ontario Research and Development Challenge Fund.
Michael D. Noseworthy, Ph.D.
Dr. Noseworthy received a M.Sc. from the University of Guelph for work in the evaluation of anaesthetic hepatotoxicity using MRI and in vivo 31P-NMR. Obtained a PhD from University of Guelph (1997) specializing in applications of MRI/MRS methods to assess free radical induced brain damage. From 1997-1999 was a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Graham Wright, Imaging Physics, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre. From January 2000 to August 2003 worked as a MRI physicist at The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, and Assistant Professor in Medical Biophysics and Medical Imaging, University of Toronto. Currently Dr. Noseworthy is an Assistant Professor at McMaster University in Medical Physics. Radiology, and Biomedical Engineering. He is the director of MRI research at the Imaging Research Centre, Brain-Body Institute, St. Joseph’s Healthcare, Hamilton. In addition Dr. Noseworthy is an Adjunct Professor in Medical Imaging at The University of Toronto and Adjunct Professor in Clinical Studies, University of Guelph, Ontario Veterinary College. His research interest is the assessment of tissue microstructure and metabolism using MRI and multinuclear in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
