DetailsBIOQIC-PhD student Simone Hufnagel defended successfully her PhD thesis: Motion-corrected 3D high-resolution cardiac T1-mapping – congratulations!
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.
