Huntington Medical Research Institutes

The Advanced Imaging Laboratory is located nearby at 10 Pico Street, as is the Liver Center at 660 South Fair Oaks Avenue.

[4] Current work includes the study of protein abnormalities underlying susceptibility to migraine headaches,[5] and the development of "histoid" tumor models.

Past work included the proposal of improvements for automobile safety,[7] the neurosurgical introduction of a silicone plastic material that made cerebrospinal fluid shunting practical for the treatment of hydrocephalus,[8][9][10] advances in cardiovascular research,[11] and the development of electronic neurological devices, including interface technology for vagus nerve stimulation.

Earlier advances at Pico Street included development of methods for providing CT-scanner guidance of 3-dimensional brain stereotactic surgery systems.

[20] Research on in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy focuses on brain metabolism[21] and on development of hyperpolarization agents to enhance signal output from tissue.
