| Mar 31, 2024 | We’re very excited to share Dunja Simicic’s pre-print on using 2D linear-combination modeling to directly integrate frequency-and-phase correction of individual transients. This exciting work is the first application of our new, completely overhauled Osprey modeling module first described in Helge’s (also brand-new at Magn Reson Med) paper. Very cool times ahead. |
| Mar 05, 2024 | Helge has been promoted to Instructor of Radiology and Radiological Science! |
| Aug 31, 2023 | Dr. Helge Zöllner has been awarded a highly prestigious and lucrative K99 Career Development Award from the National Institute on Aging entitled “Brain metabolism across the lifespan using multi-parametric MRS”. This is an outstanding reward for his ever-growing contributions and a fantastic opportunity. Congratulations, Helge! |
| Jul 14, 2023 | Our paper on a continuous automated MRS data analysis workflow is now out - well done Helge! |
| Jun 14, 2023 | Welcome to our new group member, postdoctoral fellow Dunja Simicic who joins us from EPFL in Lausanne! |
| Feb 28, 2023 | Another hepatic encephalopathy paper for Helge Zöllner from our Düsseldorf times! We show that GABA+ levels decrease in the motor cortex and increase in the cerebellum in HE patients. Congrats Helge! |
| Nov 30, 2022 | New paper by Helge Zöllner on modeling short-TE spectra with single-subject measured macromolecular profiles - out now in NMR Biomed! |
| Oct 01, 2022 | A little quarterly roundup blog for Q3: a new grant, the MRS workshop in Lausanne, and some HBCD study things! |
| Mar 04, 2022 | Welcome Chris Davies-Jenkins, our new postdoctoral fellow! And new major paper alert - congratulations to our friend and collaborator Alex Craven (Bergen University) for publishing our comparison of 7 different linear-combination algorithms for edited MRS of GABA! see blog post! |
| Oct 28, 2021 | NMR in Biomedicine has published our extensive methodological paper on linear-combination modeling strategies for GABA-edited MEGA-PRESS data. To quote one of our reviewers: “The figures are also exceptionally well done – Edward Tufte (The Visual Display of Quantitative Information) would definitely approve.” Congratulations Helge Zöllner! |
| Jul 29, 2021 | We have received a BriteStar award ($12,500) from the Department of Radiology and Radiological Science at Johns Hopkins University to develop techniques for simultaneous assessment of IDH mutation status, 1p/19q codeletion status, glutathione, and lactate levels in low-grade gliomas with in-vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 3T!   |
| Jun 08, 2021 | Helge Zöllner won a poster award for his pitch on reproducible MRS research methods at the annual ISMRM MR Spectroscopy Study Group Business Meeting. |
| May 18, 2021 | The specfitlab has moved to a new website!   |
