Blavatnik Fellow Creates Virtual Brain Biopsy Software

Co-founded by Blavatnik Fellow, Alex Zimmerman, BrainSpec is a software platform that enables efficient, accurate, and non-invasive diagnosis of brain disorders. It provides a ‘virtual biopsy’ by measuring the concentrations of chemicals in the brain. It goes beyond traditional imaging techniques to observe tissue metabolism, measuring biochemicals at concentrations 10,000 times lower than conventional MRI.
