Working Group Leader in-vivo MRI

During my studies, I have always been interested not only in physics, but also in the interdisciplinary area between physics and other natural sciences. During my diploma thesis in Dortmund, I accordingly studied the dynamics in the hydrate shell of proteins.

My PhD then took me to ETH Zurich, where I worked on various aspects of in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Meanwhile, I am leading my own research group at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in the Berlin Institute, where we are working on the development and application of methods for the quantification of metabolite concentrations in vivo using MR spectroscopy.

Who knows? Perhaps we will be able to contribute to better diagnosing and treating diseases such as Alzheimer's or depression in the future.
