Congratulations to Dr. Aurélien Bustin for receiving the prestigious Jeunes Chercheurs fellowship from the French National Research Agency (ANR) on “Highly detailed characterization of myocardial scar”. We all look forward to 3 more years of innovations and fruitful collaboration between Lausanne (CHUV) and Bordeaux (LIRYC).
Aurélien Bustin becomes ISMRM Junior Fellow
Congratulations to Dr. Aurélien Bustin, PhD for being awarded a Junior Fellowship at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine for his outstanding early-career research and commitment to the society.
Ruud van Heeswijk receives SNSF Sinergia Grant
Congratulations to Dr. Ruud van Heeswijk, PhD for receiving a Sinergia multidisciplinary grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) together with Roger Hullin, MD (CHUV Cardiology), Philippe Meyer, MD (HUG Cardiology), and Jonas Richiardi, PhD (CHUV Radiology). In this four-year project, dubbed HeartMagic, the invesigators will study heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with a broad range of modalities, including MRI, genomics, and metabolomics. They will they use state-of-the art machine learning to find subtypes of the disease, with the ultimate goal of pinpointing therapeutic inroads for the treatment of these HFpEF subtypes.
Jessica Bastiaansen receives prestigious Eccellenza grant
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!
