AAA Postdoctoral Fellowship Recipient Dr. Alpen Ortug

An Unexpected Anatomical Journey

Clinical research, the journey towards innovation that could affect the lives of patients, often resembles a winding road, full of twists, turns, and unexpected discoveries. The same can be said for the journey that brought Dr. Alpen Ortug, a clinical anatomist and postdoctoral research fellow at Mass. General Hospital and Boston Children’s Hospital, to her current work, attempting to uncover the structural differences in neurodevelopmental disorders by using advanced neuroimaging systems.

 

The Winding Road to Anatomy

Anatomy, science, and academia were always part of Dr. Ortug’s life “Anatomy was not new to me. My father is also a professor of anatomy…science and academia was all I knew.” At an early age she knew she desired a life of scientific inquiry, but the road that led Dr. Ortug to her current path was winding, with unexpected detours.
