Research at Brigham and Women’s Hospital is organized around projects rather than labs as the primary operational unit. At SNR Lab, we function as a cohesive cohort, united by shared disciplines, methodologies, and access to specialized resources. We take pride in cultivating a lab focused on medical device innovation in image-guided therapy, drawing on expertise in computer vision, robotics, artificial intelligence, regulatory science, and clinical translation.
Within this structure, our members contribute to multiple projects—either individually or in subgroups—though rarely as a single, unified team. Below is a list of SNR Lab members, along with our internal and external collaborators—our extended lab community—who are engaged across the diverse range of projects we support.
