Project

'Molecular Imaging' meets 'Imaging Molecules'

Magnetic Resonance imaging plays a crucial role in stem cell research in order to investigate whether administered stem cells are able to migrate to the target organ, locally survive, differentiate and contribute to regenerated tissue. However, knowledge regarding the interaction of MRI contrast agents with (sub)cellular structures is lacking. In this project, we will use advanced TEM techniques to investigate different MRI contrast agents and loading techniques for neural stem cells.
