Biomedical Engineering Medical Imaging / Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Biophysics Electrical Engineering (specifically for RF coil development) Neuroscience / Brain Research (organoids are brain-derived) Bioengineering / Tissue Engineering Preclinical Imaging Physics (applied or medical physics) Translational Medicine Reduction and Replacement in Animal Research (3Rs) Requirements A tertiary level of education is required i.e. ideally Master but also Bachelor degree (in progress) Research Training Hands-on experience with cutting-edge micro-MRI systems (including 9.4T ultra-high field MRI) Training in magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy methods Exposure to X-nucleus MRI, especially fluorine MRI Work with cryogenically cooled RF coils and advanced imaging hardware Lab & Technical Skills Participation in the design, testing, or optimization of custom RF coils (in collaboration with Bruker) Experimental work with 3D organoid models as alternatives to animal research Opportunities for data analysis, image processing, and method development

Masterarbeit: Advancing Organoid Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Custom Micro-MRI Technology Aiming to reduce animal use in research by enabling high-resolution, non-invasive MRI technologies in 3D human-derived organoid models Collaborative Research Environment Involvement in a multidisciplinary team with physicists, engineers, and biologists Interaction with industry partner Bruker and international collaborators (e.g., University of Lyon) Academic Benefits Supervision of a Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis Potential to co-author conference abstracts or publications Support for academic credits (ECTS) if applicable Impact-Oriented Research Contribution to 3Rs-compliant research (Reduction, Refinement, Replacement of animal use) Work on translational methods that bridge technology and biomedical applications
