Overview
Quantitative, reproducible measures of the macromolecular spin pool would be of great interest in neuroimaging, as they can provide additional measures of structural integrity particularly of myelin. This fellowship will focus on the ability to perform magnetization transfer imaging at high magnetic field strength, and will be run in partnership with the Jülich Research Centre, who have a 9.4T human research scanner. This training programme is linked to clinical programmes in MS, schizophrenia and neurodegeneration for assessing pathology load in baseline stratification and follow-up.
Program Description
GlaxoSmithKline is a world leading research-based pharmaceutical company that combines both individual talent and technical resources to create a platform for the delivery for strong growth in a rapidly changing healthcare market. Our mission is to improve the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer.
GlaxoSmithKline and Imperial College London have opened Europe’s largest research Clinical Imaging Centre (CIC) on the Hammersmith Hospital site in West London. This unique partnership between academic scientists and the pharmaceutical industry has been forged to develop and implement novel strategies for applying imaging to better understand mechanisms of disease in order to accelerate the introduction of new pharmaceuticals. Facilities include Siemens 3T Tim Trio and 3T Verio MRI scanners, two Siemens PET/CT systems, two cyclotrons and radiochemistry support in an environment focusing in particular on neuropsychiatric disease and cancer.
GSK’s Clinical Imaging Centre currently has an exciting opportunity for a PhD Research Student in Magnetic Resonance Physics. Several fellowships have been funded through the Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN) in collaboration with the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands and the Jülich Research Centre in Germany.
The applicant must have a master degree (or equivalent) in physics, engineering, computer science, computational neuroscience or related field. Prior experience with MRI and programming (C/C++ and Matlab), especially MRI sequence programming and data analysis, are preferred but not mandatory.
To take part in this fellowship project, the applicant must have a EU passport and be fluent in English. Priority is given to highly motivated, innovative candidates with interest in developing new techniques to further understand brain function, repair, and degeneration. Enthusiasm for working in a multidisciplinary environment is essential.
Research Field
Engineering - Biomedical engineering
Benefits
The fellowship offers a 3 year grant, including travel allowance and training at each of the different partners’ institutions. Co-diplomation by more than one partner’s institution is possible and strongly encouraged.
