About
Bratislav Misic is an Associate Professor at the Montreal Neurological Institute (The Neuro), a McGill University research and teaching institute and Killam Institution. He leads the Network Neuroscience Lab (https://netneurolab.github.io) and serves as BIC Core Faculty within the Neuroimaging and Neuroinformatics Research Group. His work bridges computational modeling with multimodal neuroimaging to investigate how distributed brain networks generate cognition and behavior.
His research focuses on Network Neuroscience, Neuroimaging, and Neuroinformatics, with core interests in brain connectivity architecture, multimodal integration of structural and functional data, and computational modeling of neural communication. Key themes include mapping neurotransmitter systems to cortical organization, developing statistical models of network architecture, and studying disease propagation mechanisms through brain networks using MRI, M/EEG, and PET techniques.
Analysis of Dr. Misic's recent publications reveals a dominant trend in connectome-based modeling, where he integrates multimodal and multiscale data to create biologically annotated brain maps. His work consistently bridges computational methods with empirical neuroscience, particularly in modeling structure-function relationships, network dynamics across cortical hierarchies, and cross-disorder abnormalities using advanced statistical frameworks.
Scientific Awards:
- Killam Laureate (2017-2022)
Dr. Misic directs the Network Neuroscience Lab, which develops computational tools like the conn2res and abagen toolboxes for connectome analysis and imaging transcriptomics. The lab collaborates extensively within The Neuro's ecosystem, contributing to the Azrieli Centre for Autism Research and the Early Drug Discovery Unit through network neuroscience approaches to understanding brain disorders.
