CSNR Terbrugge Lecture | David Mikulis - The Brain Stress Test

Dr. David Mikulis, MD, FRCP(C) is a staff Neuroradiologist, Full Professor at the University of Toronto, and Senior Scientist at the Toronto Western Hospital Research Institute. He is past president of two societies including the Eastern Neuroradiological Society and the American Society of Functional Neuroradiology (ASFNR). He was recently recognized in 2019 as an inaugural founding fellow of the ASFNR. In 1993, Dr. Mikulis established one of the first fMRI labs in Canada and has continued as the Director of this functional neuroimaging research lab in the Joint Department of Medical Imaging at the University Health network. In that role he has supported over 250 researchers, mentored over 50 university degree candidates, and authored 300 peer reviewed papers. He is currently involved in developing translational neurovascular imaging methods with two major program arms. The first is cerebrovascular blood vessel wall imaging, and the second is quantitative measurement and clinical application of cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) for assessing deficiencies in brain blood flow regulation. Both of these programs have led to successful translation into the clinic.
