Shannon Kolind, PhD

Associate Professor
University of British Columbia
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Dr. Kolind completed her PhD in Physics at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Oxford and King’s College London, developing ways to measure myelin, the insulating layer that surrounds nerves in the brain and spinal cord, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). As an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine (Division of Neurology) with associate appointments in the Departments of Radiology and Physics & Astronomy at UBC, Dr. Kolind’s lab is focused on developing a toolbox of tissue-specific imaging techniques and making them available to everyone, everywhere. Her multi-disciplinary team employs these multi-modal tools to achieving greater sensitivity and specificity in clinical research; particularly for clinical trials of new therapies. She was recently appointed as the Associate Head (Research) for the Division of Neurology, with the goal of promoting and fostering translational medicine.
