Philipp's Experience

Philipp Renn, Biomedical Technologies Master’s Thesis Student, Tübingen University.

I first joined the DRCMR for an internship, and as I had such a positive experience, I returned the following year to write my master’s thesis. My thesis focused on the quantitative characterization of deep gray matter tissue and lesions in Multiple Sclerosis at 7T. I have a strong affinity for working with data and programming, and while I had a keen interest in neuroscience, I was not very experienced in the field when I started.

During my time at the DRCMR, I was involved in various activities, including data acquisition, weekly meetings, journal clubs, research discussions, educational talks, and courses. The supervision was outstanding, and the whole team was always incredibly supportive whenever I had questions. The expertise and collaborative atmosphere significantly enhanced my experience. I learned a lot throughout my thesis, from handling advanced MRI data to gaining deeper insights into neuroscience and research methodologies. The DRCMR conducts fascinating research and ensures its members are actively engaged by involving them in various types of meetings, ranging from educational talks to idea-testing sessions at the scanner.

Coming from abroad, I greatly appreciated the support provided by the DRCMR, including a warm welcome through the buddy system and assistance with Danish regulations. The social life made the experience even more rewarding, with events like Friday bars, seasonal parties, or even just having a cup of coffee in the kitchen, fostering both professional and personal connections.
