That question drives my laboratory's work at the intersection of magnetic resonance physics an d microphysiology\, where we combine MR physics\, statistical and computat ional methods\, and controlled biological or biomimetic systems to better understand instrument design\, improve or identify the limits of phenomeno logical theories\, and identify fingerprints of biological state. In this talk\, I will introduce several directions from our group that reflect thi s approach. We use statistical methods to extract weak MR signals from noi se. We interrogate the use single-sided magnet to ask a specific question: i.e. can myofascial thickness be determined non-invasively? We engineer ( design\, model\, and fabricate) model MPS systems acting as phantoms that let us independently control restriction\, exchange\, and permeability. An d we develop theoretical approaches connecting spin dynamics with transpor t in open systems\, linking measurable coherence and correlation signals t o the physical transport processes that produce them. I will conclude with an outlook toward using magnetic resonance not simply to form images\, bu t as a quantitative\, engineerable probe of the organization and dynamics of complex biological systems\, a direction where defining the right desig n specifications is the necessary first step toward developing the technol ogy toward translational applications of (magnet and sensor) for interroga ting biological state.\n\nWitherspoon\, V.
