GE Global Research is soon to change its name (yet unknown) and structure following the separation of the company into three independent businesses. The official announcement was made in mid September, and was covered in the media, (times union article), as well as in the public blog posted here. The new structure can be summarized by the key words: three co-located research centers, and will preserve much of the existing functions, people, and funding sources (mostly government). It remains to be seen how this change will affect the contents and scope of the Center's research in the coming years in the field of MRI.
