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.



![3D visualisation of human neuronal tissue reconstructed by multi-scale X-ray phase contrast tomography. Neuronal cell nuclei are shown in yellow for the granule neurons in the dentate gyrus region of the hippocampus. Blood vessels are shown in red. By changing the X-ray optical magnification in the multi-scale recordings, one can zoom into regions-of-interest (red ovals). In these scans the resolution is high enough to resolve sub-structures of the nucleus, associated with different DNA packing regimes.
