Dear ESR Member, Dear Colleague, Dear Friend,
As Chairman of the ESR Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to provide you with a short update of our society’s ongoing activities since ECR 2018. Our congress reached a new record attendance, for which I would like to sincerely thank you all and which shows that we are on the right track in further enhancing interdisciplinarity. In addition to continuing with what has proved successful, we have started working on new endeavours for our society right after ECR closed. Read more here. |

"Matrix in Vision" – Exclusive Research Opportunity Awarded to Radiology
Establishment of a Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) for Radiology at the Charité (spokesperson: Prof. B. Hamm)
A new Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) has been established in the Department of Radiology, Charité, Berlin, Germany by the German Research Foundation (DFG). CRCs are highly competitive and among the best funded grants available from the German Research Foundation. They allow researchers to tackle innovative, challenging, complex and long-term research undertakings through the coordination and concentration of individuals and resources.
The CRC 1340 titled, “Matrix in Vision” focuses on the question of how pathological changes of the extracellular matrix can be visualized by techniques available in Diagnostic Radiology. The gained knowledge could contribute to the early detection of diseases and the guidance of therapies. The proposed CRC combines, for the first time, biological molecular methods in radiology with new biophysical insights (e.g. MR elastography) into the role of mechanical tissue parameters in the development of disease. This CRC is based on the cooperation of basic and clinical researchers. To read the full report click here. |
