Scientific Advisory Board

MILabs is proud to have established an international Scientific Advisory Board with leading experts in Molecular Imaging and Nuclear Medicine.

Prof. Rudi A. Dierckx

Rudi Dierckx is Professor of Nuclear Medicine at the University Medical Center of Groningen (UMCG) and Department Head of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. His research is focused on the development of new nuclear imaging methods and radiopharmaceuticals, and the evaluation of existing procedures. Rudi Dierckx is also a trained Neuropsychiatrist and has a Master of Business Administration.

Prof. Max A. Viergever

Max Viergever is Director of the Research School for Biomedical Image Sciences of the University Medical Center Utrecht, The Netherlands. Max has a mathematics background and has been the Editor-in-Chief of the highest ranking journal for image processing, mathematics and physics applied to Medical Imaging: IEEE Transactions in Medical Imaging.

Prof. Sanjiv Gambhir

Sanjiv Gambhir is the Director of the Molecular Imaging Program at Stanford, Division Chief of the Nuclear Medicine Program, and Professor of Radiology & Bioengineering at Stanford. He is generally regarded as one of the leading scientists in Molecular Imaging and he was a true pioneer in gene-expression imaging methods with Nuclear Imaging Methods. He has published many papers in Nature Medicine, Science and P.N.A.S. 

 Prof. Otto C. Boerman

Otto C. Boerman studied Chemistry at the University of Nijmegen where he further was a junior investigator at the Department of Cell Biology. As a fellow of the Dutch Cancer Society he worked at the Center for Molecular Medicine and Immunology in Newark (NJ) and at the Biological Response Modifiers Program of the National Institutes of Health in Frederick (MD).His preclinical research group in Nijmegen focuses on radionuclide imaging and therapy with radiolabeled peptides and antibodies. He is a member of the editorial board of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine and The European Journal of Nuclear Medicine & Molecular Imaging. He is a (co-)author of more than 300 peer reviewed scientific publications.

Prof. Vesna Sossi

Vesna Sossi is Professor in the Physics and Astronomy Department at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Director of the UBC Positron Emission Tomography  imaging group. Her research is focused on quantitative PET imaging, algorithms and data modelling and interpretation, with emphasis on neurodegeneration in humans and small animal models of disease.
