Background

Susumu Mori, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Division of MR Research within the Department of Radiology and Radiological Science.

Dr. Mori is an investigator whose research focuses primarily on developing novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies to study brain anatomy. He joined the Johns Hopkins faculty in 1997.

The Director of the Center for Brain Imaging Science in the Johns Hopkins Medicine Brain Science Institute, he is also affiliated with the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center; Johns Hopkins Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center; the Kennedy Krieger Institute’s F.M. Kirby Research Center for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging; and the Johns Hopkins Medical Institute’s Laboratory of Brain Science Anatomical MRI.

Dr. Mori earned his doctoral degree in biophysics from Johns Hopkins University, where he completed a post-doctoral fellowship in radiology. He also holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Tokyo University of Fisheries.

Dr. Mori has co-authored approximately 140 refereed publications, served as a principal investigator for a number of National Institutes of Health-funded extramural projects and participated in many others.
