Maria Luisa Mandelli leads the neuroimaging research within the language team of the Memory and Aging Center. Her research focuses on neuroanatomical changes caused by language, and other neurodegenerative disorders. She has been working on brain magnetic resonance imaging for the past 10 years, with the goal of better understanding of how the brain develops, changes over time, and how it makes us who we are.

She completed a PhD in Biomedical Engineering in Italy at the Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with Neurological Institute C. Besta. Maria Luisa joined UCSF in 2010, specializing in brain imaging processing.
