Personal profile

Profile

As a Professor and Head of the MR Research Centre, I lead research into clinically translatable MRI technologies. I specialize in research leadership, interdisciplinary collaboration, and grant acquisition. With a background in nanoscience and a phd and doctorate in medicine, I have extensive experience in multi-center studies and currently serve as chair of the Danish 7T MRI national steering group.

Job responsibilities

My main focus is translational MRI, including metabolic imaging using ²H, ³¹P, ²³Na and hyperpolarized ¹²⁹Xe and ¹³C MRI. I also work with advanced conventional MRI techniques aimed at improving diagnostic imaging in clinical practice

Research

I conduct research on translational MRI, focusing on metabolic imaging using hyperpolarized ¹³C, 2H and 129Xe MRI. My aim is to develop non-invasive methods for assessing organ function in diseases like Alzhimers, heart failure, cancer, diabetes and chronic kidney disease. This work supports clinicians in making more informed, personalized treatment decisions.

Research

I collaborate with national hospitals and international universities on projects within hyperpolarized MRI and kidney disease imaging. The goal is to develop clinically applicable imaging tools and standardize methods across institutions.

Teaching

I teach advanced MRI methods in the Medical PhD degree programs. Using research-based teaching and hands-on imaging sessions, I aim to give students insight into translational imaging and its clinical relevance. I have also contributed to academic regulation development and course materials.
