Biography

Ashley Harris holds the Canada Research Chair in Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for Brain Injury. She develops magnetic resonance imaging spectroscopy methods for clinical neuroscience research. Her interests lie in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate brain neurochemistry, focusing on the balance between inhibition and excitation and its relationship to function and structure. To meet this goal, she emphasizes the development of MRI spectroscopy methods to measure brain metabolites, particularly focusing on editing methods for the metabolite GABA. Her applied methods aim to enhance the understanding of developmental disorders, chronic pain, and potential therapies for brain injury.
