Extension of the Collaborative Research Center SFB 1340 "Matrix in Vision"

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved the continuation of the Collaborative Research Center 1340 (SFB 1340) "Matrix in Vision" for another four years. Here, scientists are researching how pathological changes of the extracellular matrix can be displayed in diagnostic imaging to help identify diseases earlier and support targeted therapies. In the sub-project "Magnetic Particle Imaging for imaging of the extracellular matrix" we are investigating of biomolecular processes in the pathologically altered extracellular matrix. For this purpose, magnetic particle imaging with magnetic nanoparticles as tracers will be used to evaluate the capability of this young imaging modality for molecular imaging of pathological changes in the extracellular matrix.
