Jerzy Bodurka, Ph.D.
(1964-2021)
Dr. Jerzy Bodurka passed away on Friday, August 13, 2021. He was a pioneer and a world-renowned expert in the fields of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI and enjoyed a storied scientific career and many prestigious awards. He worked as a staff scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and received the NIH Director's Award in 2007 for his advancements in MRI imaging technology. In 2009, he joined the Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR) in Tulsa, OK, where he worked to build an international reputation in magnetic resonance imaging physics and its applications to improving mental health.
He cared deeply about people – those in his group, in his work and in his family. He was a thoughtful and engaging collaborator who advocated for new researchers. He was a loving husband, father, brother, son, mentor and colleague with a knack for technology and tinkering – his wife and daughter joke that they always had a willing IT professional on call. He loved World War II history, space exploration, hiking, tennis, movies, walking with the family dog and most of all, his family.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you please consider donations to Laureate Institute for Brain Research to continue Jerzy's life's work in advancing interventions for mental health.
