Welcome to the LOAM (Lab of Advanced MRI) GitHub repository. We are part of the Neurophysics Group in the Department of Cosmic Rays and Chronology (DRCC), within the Institute of Physics (IFGW) at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil.
Established in February 2023 and led by Prof. Dr. André Paschoal, LOAM is dedicated to the implementation, development, and optimization of advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences, with applications in neuroimaging.
Our research currently focuses on:
- Brain hemodynamics
- Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clearance mechanisms
- Their implications in neurological and neurodegenerative disorders
LOAM operates across two main locations at UNICAMP:
- Institute of Physics (IFGW)
- University Hospital (HC – Hospital de Clínicas)
We have access to state-of-the-art MRI scanners, including:
- Philips Ingenia 3T (clinical research)
- Bruker BioSpin 7T (preclinical research)
These resources allow us to conduct both human and animal studies using cutting-edge imaging protocols.
The University of Campinas (UNICAMP) is a leading public university in Brazil, located in Campinas, a major city in the state of São Paulo, just one hour from São Paulo city.
UNICAMP is known for its excellence in:
- Humanities
- Exact Sciences
- Biological Sciences
Its main campus houses a broad range of undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as the University Hospital, where part of our research activities are carried out.
