Timothy P.L. Roberts, PhD
Vice Chair of Research, Department of Radiology
Dr. Roberts investigates brain-wave scanning with magnetoencephalography (MEG) and works to identify biomarkers for neuropsychiatric disorders like autism. Those biomarkers are for diagnosis, prognosis, stratification, and response monitoring as well as substrate identification for targeted therapy. Putting the "bio" into biomarkers is a major emphasis of Dr. Roberts' research, for which he also uses advanced diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and edited spectroscopy.
