A 3-year biologically oriented PhD position at the DRCMR is offered in collaboration with Cluster for Molecular Imaging, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen,  and the Biomedical Engineering Group at DTU Elektro, the Technical University of Denmark.

The project concerns Hyperpolarized Metabolic Magnetic Resonance (MR) that is an exciting new method for the non-invasive study of in vivo biochemistry in real time. In this project, the aim is to develop a method for non-invasive imaging of pH and redox potential through two new hyperpolarized substrates, 13C-bicarbonate and 13C-ascorbic acid, and study the relevance of these parameters in tumor progression and treatment. The PhD study will focus on the biological aspects of developing the methods, and will run in parallel with another PhD study that focuses on the technical aspects.
