Postdoctoral fellow

Douglas Mental Health Institute, Brain Imaging Centre

McGill University



Biography


Dr. Tardif received her Bachelors' in Computer and Electrical Engineering from McGill University and her MSc in Bioengineering from Imperial College London (UK). During her

PhD at the Montreal Neurological Institute under the supervision of Prof. Bruce Pike, she investigated the quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signature of cortical

multiple sclerosis pathology to improve detection in vivo. She then joined the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (Leipzig, Germany), working with the

departments of Prof. Robert Turner and Prof. Arno Villringer, to develop a novel framework to study cortical myeloarchitecture in vivo using high-resolution MRI at ultra-high-field. Dr. Tardif is a postdoctoral fellow in Prof. Mallar Chakravarty's laboratory at the Douglas Brain Imaging Centre since September 2015. Her current research focuses on the

development of novel quantitative MRI techniques to study the microstructural underpinnings of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders.



 *Dr. Tardif is a candidate for a faculty position.
