Congratulations to Dr. Jessica Bastiaansen for receiving the Swiss National Science Foundation Eccellenza Professorial Fellowship on “Quantitative magnetic resonance biopsies: Exploiting signal asymmetries for next-generation noninvasive biomarker mapping”. We all look forward to non-invasive biopsies in the near future!
Matthias Stuber appointed to the Swiss National Research Council
Congratulations to Matthias Stuber, who was appointed to Biology and Medicine Division of the National Research Council (NRC) of Switzerland by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) Executive Committee.
The NRC is the scientific body of the SNSF and plays a central role in the development and quality assurance of research in Switzerland. NRC members are elected based on scientific excellence in their field, insight into disciplines other than their own, experience as evaluators and knowledge in science policy and evaluation science.
Matthias Stuber will serve a four-year term commencing on 1st April 2021 where he will provide his expertise in evaluating research proposals submitted to the SNSF and make funding decisions.
Mariana Falcão and Simone Rumac win ISMRM Study Group awards
Congratulations to Mariana Falcão for her second place in the Flow & Motion Quantitation Study Group meeting and to Simone Rumac for the best student abstract award in the Cardiac MR Study Group meeting.
Mariana Falcão’s abstract was titled “5D flow – a quantitative in-vivo comparison between Self-Gating and Pilot-Tone gating”, while Simone Rumac’s abstract was titled “Cardiac MR fingerprinting with a short acquisition window in healthy volunteers and 62 consecutive patients referred for clinical CMR”.
Chris Roy becomes ISMRM Junior Fellow
Congratulations to Dr. Christopher W. Roy, PhD for being awarded a Junior Fellowship at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine for his outstanding early-career research.
MREye: CIBM collaboration leads to imaging technique for the moving eye
Our collaboration with the LINE group of Micah Murray led to a revolutionary new imaging technique to track the moving eye. The technique, based on our free-running framework and developed by Benedetta Franceschiello and Lorenzo Di Sopra, was published in Progress in Neurobiology.
