During my Master&#8217;s thesis at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, I ventured into the field of MRI. Driven by my interest in biophysical modeling, I examined the contribution of iron to the transverse MRI relaxation in the brain, in particular in a small region called substantia nigra that plays a crucial role in Parkinson&#8217;s disease.<br>I continued these studies in my PhD, in which I developed a biophysical model of the iron-induced transverse MRI relaxation in the substantia nigra. Based on this model, my colleagues and I proposed a sensitive MRI-based measure of the cell population most heavily affected by Parkinson&#8217;s, the dopaminergic neurons. Furthermore, I used ultra-high-field MRI at cellular resolution to characterize the magnetism of iron bound in dopaminergic neurons. Lastly, I worked on a precise neuroimaging atlas of the substantia nigra and used it to link our results to in vivo MRI and radiology. I defended my PhD in December 2023 and continued as a postdoc for one year in Leipzig.<br>Following my interest in developing MRI measures with cellular specificity, I joined Ileana Jelescu&#8217;s lab in early 2025, where I work on combining diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance spectroscopy and MRI. I hope this approach will enable a deeper understanding of diffusion MRI measures in the brain and their pathological alterations, opening paths to novel MRI-based clinical improvements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Malte Brammerloh Postdoctoral FellowDept of Radiology, CHUV\/UNILEmail:\u00a0malte.brammerloh@chuv.chMailing address: Centre de Recherche en Radiologie PET3, CHUVRue du Bugnon 46, 1011 Lausanne, SwitzerlandOffice: PET3-02-230, Rue P\u00e9pinet 3, 1003 Lausanne, Switzerland&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1002357,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-999","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/mic-map\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/999","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/mic-map\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/mic-map\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/mic-map\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1002357"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/mic-map\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=999"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/mic-map\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/999\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1001,"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/mic-map\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/999\/revisions\/1001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.unil.ch\/mic-map\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
