European Network on NMR Relaxometry

In March 2016 I started to work within the EU-funded FET-open project CONQUER. The project is about a new approach in developing MRI contrast agents which takes advantage of relaxation enhancement via magnetization transfer to extrinsic quadrupolar nuclei in close neighbourhood to the water protons. Recently, our research group has implemented a small animal insert into a clinical 3T scanner which allows us to cycle the B0 field up to ± 200mT around the Siemens 2.89T. My research interests include the instrumental development and implementation of dedicated pulse sequences for FFC-MRI at 3T.
