Dr. Mathias Lukas received the Robert Koch Award of Charité 2024 for his research in the field of Molecular Imaging. In his doctoral thesis, Dr. Mathias Lukas developed a novel imaging technique that allows for the simultaneous, quantitative, and non-invasive observation of multiple radioactively labeled substances and their interactions in living organisms. The new…

BIOQIC welcomes Kandice Tanner for a sabbatical in the labs of Ingolf Sack at Charité Berlin. Tanner receives funds to pursue a translational project in cancer biophysics using novel MR elastography technology developed at Charité. Tanner is a physicist and Senior Investigator at the Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of…
DetailsHow do tumors and metastases develop? What makes them resistant to treatment? We want to investigate these questions with a new research group at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin using multifrequency magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). The project is being funded for four years by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
We had a great BIOQIC Day on Friday 8 September at the PTB with inspiring, interesting and promising presentations.
