University Hospital Munster are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our interdisciplinary research team working on MRI of inflammation and cancer using a multimodal approach. We combine contrast enhanced MRI with computer simulations of image contrast and mass spectrometric imaging of tissue samples and single cells. This project is part of the Collaborative Research Centre 1450 “Insight – Multiscale imaging of organ-specific inflammation” and aims to develop and apply a quantitative MRI approach, by establishing a data base of simulated and experimental MR data of tissue and single cells, to characterize immune cell dynamics in murine models of inflammation and cancer.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Developing and performing computer simulation of MRI contrast of labelled cells and tissue
- Labeling and tracking immune cells in cell culture and murine models of inflammation and cancer
- Collecting, analyzing and annotating MRI data
- Combining MRI and mass spectrometric imaging data in data base for quantitative MRI
- Participating in the CRC 1450 graduate school and presenting research findings at internal meetings and international conferences
