For students interested in learning basic to advanced concepts and techniques in neuroimaging, I am excited to share the Launch of BRAIN: Bajaj Research Academy in Neuroimaging
https://www.neuroimagingacademy.com/
Neuroimaging has transformed how we understand the human brain—from structure to behavior to disease. It has been central to my work, and over time, a space I feel deeply committed to teaching and mentoring in. At the same time, the research landscape is becoming increasingly competitive, with tighter funding and fewer structured opportunities for early-stage trainees. This makes it harder for many students to gain meaningful, hands-on exposure early in their journey. Globally, the gap is even wider. In many regions/countries, access to neuroimaging training, infrastructure, and mentorship remains limited. With this in mind, I am excited to launch BRAIN (Bajaj Research Academy in Neuroimaging)—an independent initiative (registered as a DBA), not affiliated with any institution, focused on introducing students to how modern brain imaging research actually works.
The goal is simple:
👉 Help students move beyond textbooks and understand real-world neuroimaging research
Through BRAIN, students gain exposure to:
• How the human brain is studied using imaging approaches and techniques
• Links between brain structure, function, and behavior
• Research thinking and analytical approaches
• Early pathways into neuroimaging, medicine, and scientific careers
This is especially relevant for students interested in:
• Medicine and brain health
• Neuroimaging and human behavior
• Data-driven, research-oriented careers
More broadly, I hope this initiative contributes (however modestly) to building a stronger, more prepared pipeline of future "neuro-imagers".
I would be happy to connect with:
• Students seeking research exposure
• Schools and academic programs
• Colleagues interested in mentoring/training
• Organizations or companies exploring research consulting or academic–industry collaboration
