Harvard Catalyst Profile - Nikolaos Makris
Research
Dr. Makris is a neuroanatomist, imager, and trained psychiatrist whose work is principally in human and non-human primate quantitative neuroanatomy and the development of imaging methodologies that translate basic brain science into the clinical domains of psychiatry, neurology and neurosurgery. Dr. Makris is studying brain circuits as neuroimaging biomarkers in both humans and primates. Validation of brain circuits in neuroimaging is critical in understanding and assessing clinical validity of neuroimaging techniques used in current clinical neuroscience.
