What Is

to Love
About the
Martinos
Center?
The Martinos Center has so
much to offer for students
and other investigators, from
its state-of-the-art technology
to its world-class faculty. We
asked six graduate students in
the Center what they like most
about working there. Here’s
what they told us.
Being a graduate student at the Martinos Center is having
the best of all worlds; you are constantly surrounded by
groundbreaking research in virtually every field of bio-
medical imaging while working with collegial, friendly
and extremely talented people that care about you and
your career goals. It is a truly remarkable journey and
transformative experience!
John GW Samuelsson, MIT, Harvard-MIT Division of
Health Sciences and Technology (HST)
The opportunity to work with the amazing people at the
Martinos Center and in this very inspiring environment is
a chance I didn’t want to miss! People encourage students
in the Center to take the time to truly understand the
details of their work, and everyone helps each other along
the way. I am happy and proud to learn from leaders in
the field and slowly be able to add something to this com-
munity, too.
