Happy Holidays from the HMTRC!

Wishing you Peace and Joy this Holiday Season

As the year comes to an end, we are taking a moment to reflect on the past year and how thankful we are for the support of staff and collaborators at the HMTRC. We are incredibly grateful for all the great accomplishments, collaborations, and technology developments that has occurred both at the HMTRC and worldwide.

The 2024 year has been a standout year with the publication of the position paper and preparation of the Consensus Manuscript by the HP C-13 Consensus Group. Also we celebrate a recent addition to the sites conducting HP C-13 MRI human research studies. In November, Singapore conducted its first human study, bringing the total sites conducting HP C-13 human research to 16 worldwide! We look forward to continued collaborations and conducting great team science leading to advancing technology development to understand and treat human diseases worldwide.

In the newsletter below, we highlight the 2025 HP C-13 Technology Workshop registration information. Register early as we will be making final hands-on placements in February 2025.

Cheers to another great year! May your days be filled with peace, hope, and joy this holiday season.
