Welcome to the homepage of the Biomedizinische NMR Forschungs GmbH (BiomedNMR) – a research laboratory devoted to the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and its application for studies of living systems. BiomedNMR is a non-profit organization associated with the Max-Planck-Institut für biophysikalische Chemie in Göttingen, Germany. It is funded by the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V., München, using royalties from the group’s patents.

BiomedNMR comprises an interdisciplinary research team, with expertise from physics to biology and medicine. It is our primary aim to further develop and apply MRI methods that provide novel insights into the anatomy and physiology of animals and humans. Respective projects range from advanced acquisition and reconstruction techniques to functional studies of the human brain. Recent progress allows for the recording of MRI movies in real time – providing new access to a wide range of research fields that range from turbulent flow and phonetic aspects of speaking to cardiovascular function. A large variety of different MRI techniques helps us to link molecular and genetic information to function at the system level by investigations of genetically modified animals. Together, these approaches provide unique insights into the structure, metabolism, and function of intact living organisms.

Our core competence combines MRI methodology with interdisciplinary research in the biomedical sciences. Extending into translational research, many of our goals are achieved through strategic collaborations with researchers and clinicians.
