Dr. Aviv Mezer is an Associate Professor at the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences (ELSC) at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel.

Research in Dr. Mezer\\u2019s lab is focused on mapping human brain structures during normal development and aging. In addition, it is focused on developing new approaches to characterize the structural changes associated with neurological disorders. Mezer\\u2019s main research tool is in-vivo quantitative magnetic resonance imaging \\u2013 qMRI. The Mezer lab is developing tools to biophysically explain the brain\\u2019s MRI signals at different levels and resolutions: from molecular local sources through cellular organization to the mapping of networks across the entire brain.

In this interview, we discuss the field of qMRI more broadly, touching upon the present and future interpretations \\u2018in vivo histology\\u2019. We also discuss Dr Mezer\\u2019s approach to mentorship, as well as the skills that would benefit future researchers in this field.

At OHBM 2023, Dr. Mezer will show us how combining multiple quantitative MRI measures can provide additional biological information about tissue composition and brain health.\\xa0
