Jens Frahm

Director of "Biomedizinische NMR Forschungs GmbH"

Biomedical Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

  • 1974 Diploma in Physics, Univ. of Göttingen

  • 1977 Doctorate in Physical Chemistry, Univ. of Göttingen

  • 1977-1982 Postdoctoral Researcher, MPI for Biophysical Chemistry

  • 1982-1992 Head, Independent Research Group ‘Biomedizinische NMR’ (BMFT grant)

  • since 1993 Director, Biomedizinische NMR Forschungs GmbH (not-for-profit, based on group’s patents)

Major Research Interests:

Jens Frahm

  • Development and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): noninvasive studies of structure and function at the system level, animals and humans

  • Methodology: non-Cartesian MRI, parallel MRI, numerical reconstruction techniques, real-time MRI, contrast agents (nanoparticles)

  • Human neuroscience: functional neuroimaging, neuro-feedback, fiber tractography

  • Animal studies: models of human brain disorders, nonhuman primates, genetically modified mice
