Scott Marek is assistant professor of radiology in the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Marek received a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of Pittsburgh, where he gained expertise in pediatric neuroimaging with Beatriz Luna. Subsequently, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship with Nico Dosenbach at Washington University School of Medicine, where he gained expertise in functional mapping of individual brains and leveraging big data to quantify the reproducibility of brain-wide association studies. He now runs his own lab focused on precision imaging and deep phenotyping of adolescent twins with depression, as well as population neuroscience approaches using large datasets, such as the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study.

Reforming neuroscience graduate education for—and with—AI
In disrupting the status quo, artificial intelligence can help us critically reassess and redefine what neuroscience graduate training should look like—and potentially address long-standing training challenges in novel and innovative ways.
