New Appointment: MBP Welcomes Dr. Jacob Ellegood

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Jacob Ellegood, Assistant Professor, to the Department of Medical Biophysics.

Jacob Ellegood, Ph.D. is a Scientist at the Bloorview Research Institute (BRI) at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. Current interests involve 1) Understanding the heterogeneity across and within neurodevelopmental disorders, 2) using advanced neuroimaging techniques and analyses to understand the neuroplasticity of learning and rehabilitation, and 3) using AI to assist with image correction, reconstruction, and acquisition, which can help to increase accessibility, equity, and diversity in large neuroimaging datasets. He is quite collaborative and has curated long lasting relationships with researchers across Canada and around the world. Prior to starting at BRI, he worked at the Mouse Imaging Centre (MICe) at the Hospital for Sick Children where he used structural neuroimaging to redefine how neurodevelopmental disorders are diagnosed and categorized in both mice and humans.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Ellegood to the Department.
