Neuroimaging Lab (Prof. Andreas Jacobs)

We develop novel molecular imaging strategies for neuroinflammatory processes associated with neurodegeneration, stroke and gliomas. We use positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission tomographie (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optical imaging to specifically localize and quantify disease-related parameters. Our overall aim is to use these parameters for imaging-guided and patient-tailored diagnosis and treatment strategies. Moreover, we aim to understand the role of microglia in health and disease with special emphasis on aging-related mechanisms.

    Distribution of immune cells in the body of a mouse, imaged with optical imaging
    © S. Gran & L. Honold et al./Theranostics 2018(8)

    Immune-Image

    In this project, we develop methods for monitoring immune cells before, during and after immune treatment. Initially, we will look at these processes in animal models for different diseases – with the aim of translating the results and methods to patients mid-term enabling us to establish image-guided immunotherapies with improved efficacy in diseases such as cancer or inflammation.
