TUM-NTU Joint Workshop on Biomedical Imaging

Kurse & Veranstaltungen |

Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) enjoy a long-lasting strategic partnership. The activities between these renowned universities range from a very active student exchange to joint master programs in the framework of TUMAsia as well as numerous bilateral research collaborations in a wide range of scientific fields.

In this context, and taking into account TUM’s recent developments on profiling the area of Bioengineering (e.g. the creation of the TUM School of Bioengineering and the Interdisciplinary Center for Cancer Research (TranslaTUM), this joint workshop on biomedical imaging was organized to explore possibilities of collaboration within this field. The workshop focusses specifically on the following themes: BMI in Material Science, novel X-ray imaging technologies, optical acoustics, translation of BMI in clinical radiology, MR-Imaging with Hyperpolarized nuclei, radioisotopes for imaging, transmission electron microscopy, molecular imaging in immunology, image based modeling.

With this event, we expect to learn more about the activities in Biomedical Imaging at NTU and to identify common areas of interest and complementary expertise. Particularly interesting for us is to learn more about the activities at NTU in the field of biomedical photonics, with a specific focus on super-resolution microscopy for live cell dynamics investigations. The workshop has a duration of two days with talks from researchers from both universities, followed by one day of facilities visits, both at the Garching Campus and at the Klinikum rechts der Isar.

  • When: 9 - 11 Nov. 2016
  • Where: TUM Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), Lichtenbergstr. 2 a, 85748 Garching
  • Registration Deadline: 28 October 2016
