Our mission as research center: Discover personalized medical solutions for environmentally triggered diseases to promote a healthier society in a rapidly changing world.
The Institute of Biological and Medical Imaging (IBMI) at Helmholtz Munich and the Chair of Biological Imaging (CBI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are an integrated, multi-disciplinary re-search unit, which provide bioengineering solutions to urgent societal needs. IBMI 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, IBMI offers state-of-the-art infrastructure for innovative research and an ideal environment to accelerate your career.
We now seek a highly qualified and motivated postdoctoral researcher (f/m/x) to drive the develop-ment of an advanced signal and image analysis framework for clinical optoacoustics.

Your responsibilities
Optoacoustics, in particular, multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) and raster-scan optoa-coustic mesoscopy (RSOM), enable label-free imaging of oxy- and deoxyhemoglobin as intrinsic tissue biomarkers to resolve oxygen saturation and utilization as metabolic/functional indicators. The suc-cessful candidate will be instrumental in re-designing the MSOT/RSOM analysis framework, adapting it to clinical studies of diabetes within a funded HORIZON 2020 project (OPTOMICS) and validating it for soft tissue imaging against established gold-standard imaging techniques. Given the prevalence of diabetes and metabolic diseases in modern societies, this project has huge potential for high-impact research findings and exploitation. You will be integrated into a network of high-profile researchers within the Clinical Bioengineering Group, IBMI and TUM’s University Hospital ‘rechts der Isar’, giving you excellent opportunities for scientific interaction and professional growth. |
