New Zealand Brain Research Institute
Annual Report
—2017
Dr Tracy Melzer — MRI Research Manager, NZBRI
As the MRI Research Manager,
I oversee all magnetic resonance
imaging that occurs at the Institute.
This includes my primary research
focus — using multimodal MRI to
investigate cognition in Parkinson’s
disease — as well as facilitating
and collaborating on other projects
ranging from child development
to mild traumatic brain injury to
Alzheimer’s disease.
One of the main advantages
of the NZBRI is its multidisciplinary
nature; it promotes effective and
friendly collaboration between
experts in diverse fields from the
Universities of Otago and Canterbury,
as well as Christchurch Hospital
