DOC.FUNDS promotes doctoral studies in brain research

Studies & Further Education Carinthia University of Applied Sciences and the Medical University of Vienna have launched a cooperation project to address the sustainable interlinking of basic university research and applied brain research. Seven doctoral positions will be publicised for this purpose with research starting in the winter semester 2023/24. As part of the collaboration between Carinthia University of Applied Sciences and the Medical University of Vienna, seven doctoral positions are being established to develop new methods in ultra-high field magnetic resonance imaging, histology and artificial intelligence. The research aims to make advances in the treatment of brain tumours and demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. New research platform bundles scientific know-how - In order to bundle scientific knowledge, an innovative research platform is being set up by the Carinthian University of Applied Sciences under the responsibility of Günther Grabner, head of the Master's programme in Medical Engineering and Analytics. It will combine scientific expertise and equipment at the cutting edge of technology from three departments at the Medical University of Vienna - the University Hospitals for Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, for Neurology and for Neurosurgery - as well as the Carinthian University of Applied Sciences in the study area of Engineering & IT, Medical Engineering and Analytics. "We are very pleased about the cooperation with the Medical University of Vienna and the opportunity to establish this research platform," says Günther Grabner.
