Profile Summary

I have deep experience in using conventional and advanced in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques. I can provide specialist expertise, research and analytical services to research institutes and pharmaceutical companies, helping in defining domains where MRS techniques can generate meaningful results, in setting up relevant, study-specific acquisition sequences, collecting, processing and analyzing experimental data. What you could expect: * Expert advisory services and assistance with protocol design and preparation of manuals of operations for all MRS aspects of preclinical trials. * Assistance with implementing and optimizing protocols. * Data compilation, data processing and quantitative analysis of MRS data using either proprietary software or adaptations of public domain tools. * Report generation.
