Visitors Talk: Asst. Prof. Melissa Hooijmans, Amsterdam University Medical Centre
Dr. Lijing Xin and Dr. Antonia Kaiser from the CIBM MRI EPFL Section invite you to attend the CIBM Visitors Talk on January 16th at 15:00 CET in the CIBM Seminar Room at EPFL. We are pleased to host Assit. Prof. Melissa Hooijmans from the Radiology department of Amsterdam University Medical Centre who will be sharing on “A non-invasive Magnetic Resonance platform to study oxidative capacity in healthy and diseased skeletal muscle during dynamic exercise”.
Melissa Hooijmans
Assistant professor at the Radiology department of Amsterdam University Medical Centre
Abstract
The talk will focus on why it is interesting to measure skeletal muscle oxidative capacity during dynamic exercise, how we developed the MR platform and what can we measure. Lastly I will highlight some pilot data during dynamic arm and leg cycling exercise in healthy and diseased skeletal muscle.
