³ÉÈË´óƬ

Prof Tardif received her undergraduate degree in computer engineering from ³ÉÈË´óƬ in 2004, and her masters’ degree in bioengineering from Imperial College London, UK, in 2006. She then returned to ³ÉÈË´óƬ to earn a PhD in biomedical engineering in 2011. After postdoctoral studies at the Max-Planck Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences (Leipzig, Germany) and at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute (³ÉÈË´óƬ), she joined ³ÉÈË´óƬ in 2017 as an Assistant Professor in Neurology & Neurosurgery and Biomedical Engineering. Prof Tardif's lab is at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre of the Montreal Neurological Institute, where she co-directs the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Unit. Her lab develops novel MRI techniques to generate high-resolution quantitative MR images of the brain in-vivo, and relates them to microstructural features of the tissue. Methodological developments include novel image acquisition techniques, multi-modal biophysical modelling, and high-resolution cortical modelling. The lab has a translational approach, working on both small animal (7 Tesla) and human (3 and 7 Tesla) MRI systems.
