Van Wedeen

Van Wedeen is an Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School, and an assistant neuroscientist at Massachusetts General Hospital. Wedeen is responsible for an award-winning 2012 study that resulted in an unprecedent and unexpectedly clear image of a brain’s large-scale wiring patterns. Thanks to Wedeen, we can now think of the brain as an intricate, multi-layered grid as opposed to a seemingly-random tangle.
