Susie Y. Huang, MD, PhD, is a radiologist in the Division of Neuroradiology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Associate Director of the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, and Associate Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School. She received her AB/AM in Chemistry from Harvard University, PhD in Chemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles, and MD from Harvard Medical School. Dr. Huangs research focuses on the development and clinical translation of advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques for probing tissue microstructure in the human brain and central nervous system. She is a leader in high-gradient diffusion MRI and has contributed to the development of methods that leverage ultra-strong gradients to resolve axonal and cellular microstructure in the living human brain. She led the NIH BRAIN Initiative-funded Connectome 2.0 project, a multi-institutional effort to develop the next-generation human MRI scanner for multiscale imaging of brain tissue microstructure and connectional anatomy. In parallel, she leads translational initiatives for the MGB Department of Radiology aimed at accelerating and validating high-efficiency MRI protocols for clinical practice, including work that helped establish the Mass General Brigham high-efficiency outpatient imaging center at Assembly Row. Her work spans methodological innovation, translational neuroscience, and clinical imaging, with applications in neurodegenerative disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and brain connectivity.
