Chair of Biological Imaging

28.02.2024, Wissenschaftliches Personal

The Chair of Biological Imaging (CBI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Institute of Biological and Medical Imaging (IBMI) at Helmholtz Munich are an integrated, multi-disciplinary research unit, which provide bioengineering solutions to urgent societal needs. CBI scientists develop next-generation imaging and sensing methods to measure previously inaccessible properties of living systems, hence, catalyzing breakthroughs in biology, medicine, and the environment. Comprising 11 inter-disciplinary laboratories and scientists from more than 25 countries, CBI offers state-of-the-art infrastructure for innovative research and an ideal environment to accelerate your career.

The Mission:

Optoacoustic imaging and sensing can collect structural and functional information about health and disease offering novel ways to monitor health conditions and life-style or medical interventions. Building upon our extensive expertise in developing methods and systems, we are now focusing on the clinical translation of optoacoustic technology in cardio-metabolic medicine. The successful candidate will drive clinical studies that aim to develop novel prevention and prognosis methodology in close collaboration with our clinical partners. The work is expected to pioneer methodology that monitors the development of different cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, including diabetes, in ways that move away from symptoms-based medicine, into the realm of continuous healthcare. This is a field with potential to accelerate your scientific career, greatly impact society, improve the efficiency and cost of healthcare and offer outstanding opportunity for commercial exploitation.
