Working at Charité

The MR Elastography Working Group is part of the interdisciplinary Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1340 at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and conducts research at the intersection of medicine, preclinical research, physics, and computer science. This subproject focuses on investigating tumor-associated inflammation and biophysical interactions between the tumor and the liver in order to identify imaging markers for disease progression and response to therapeutic treatment. Furthermore, the markers will be evaluated to analyze the response to image-guided, locoregional therapies in interventional radiology. The project involves performing quantitative MRI/MRE scans and analyzing biosamples from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.
Imaging studies conducted before and after locoregional therapy approved in accordance with guidelines, combined with peri-interventional liver and tumor biopsies, will enable correlation with molecular and histopathological findings. In close collaboration with clinical and scientific partners within the Collaborative Research Center, we combine methodological development, experimental ultrasound and MRI systems, and biophysical modeling into a translational research approach.

Aufgaben

Overview of the position

Responsibilities include planning and optimizing MRI examination protocols and sequences, as well as—when necessary—independently performing MRI/MRE examinations as part of scientific studies.
Research assignments: MR image analysis, biostatistical evaluations, and the preparation of scientific publications.

You will be employed as a research assistant: According to §110 (4), sentence 3 of the Berlin Higher Education Act (BerlHG), research assistants are entitled to an appropriate amount of time during their working hours for their own further academic training (doctoral degree).
