The research group of the MR-Center at the University Children's Hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, consists of graduated and post-graduated scientists in the fields of medicine, physics, biochemistry, neurobiology, neurophysiology and psychology.

As a division of the Children’s Hospital and partner of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging our research group is active in investigating various aspects of normal and deviant development of the human brain. By means of various MR modalities (structural and functional imaging as well as MR spectroscopy) different aspects of the development of brain functions in children are targeted. A goal thereby is not only the description of normal developmental processes but also and first of all the transfer of the acquired knowledge into the daily clinical diagnostics and patient care.
