2 MSc projects - Morphological and functional neuroimaging of the brain’s glymphatic system in neurodegeneration and migraine’
Project using biomedical imaging methods in rodent model of laboratory animal:
fluorenscence microscopy
magnetic resonance imaging
single photon emission tomography
micro-computed tomography
You are welcome to join us at the Center for Translational Neuromedicine (CTN) and Panum MRI Core!
We are looking for 2 enthusiastic and dedicated candidates from the field of biology/veterinary/medicine/medical physics, who wish to specialize within the interdisciplinary field of neuroscience.
Whether you would like to undergo training in microscopy imaging, MRI or µCT and improve your knowledge about neuroimaging or you wish to dedicate yourself to science, apply and become a part of the international research team in CTN, at the University of Copenhagen - a dynamic world-class status facility with more than 40 neuroscientists and state-of-the-art scientific equipment.
The project would take place at the Center for Translational Neuromedicine and preclinical MRI Core Facility (Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen). Both Facilities house several micro and macroscopy units, SPECT/PET/µCT scanner and a 9.4T ultra-high field MRI equipment along with a large variety of coils and peripheral devices. By using the most optimal setup for your experiments, you will have a chance to generate new and valuable data, analyze it, and draw important for neuroscientific community conclusions.
Each candidate should possess skills in wet-lab techniques and/or small animal handling. The exact project outline would be tailored to the specific skills and background of each candidate. However, it is foreseen that the two projects would require communication and coordination of the experiments between two students. This team-oriented task aims optimizing the imaging paradigms in awake and anesthetized animals according to the research goals.
