Robert Shulman, Sterling Professor Emeritus of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry and a key figure in the implementation of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) technology for biological studies, was honored at a symposium at the School of Medicine on June 17.
The symposium -- "From Molecules to Mind: Celebrating the Contributions of Robert G. Shulman to Biological NMR" was held in the School of Medicine's new medical and research building at 300 Cedar St.
Shulman, who is also professor of chemistry and diagnostic radiology, founded the Magnetic Resonance Research Center at Yale, located in the new research building. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most popular mode of NMR technology. Shulman's group has used high-field NMR spectroscopy to follow chemical reactions and brain activity and NMR imaging techniques to resolve functional areas of the brain during cognition.
"Our goals," Shulman has said, "are to understand quantitatively the somatic regulation and control or metabolic fluxes in humans, to discover new biochemical events and to develop methods for localizing brain function."
