Moriel Vandsburger is an accomplished bioengineering professional with a wealth of experience in developing cutting-edge molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for targeted cardiac and cellular imaging. She holds a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering and a B.S. in bioengineering.

Over the years, Moriel has been involved in several research projects, including developing MRI methods for assessing left ventricular remodeling in mice after myocardial infarction, elucidating the in vivo roles of nitric oxide synthase isoforms in calcium cycling using manganese-enhanced MRI, and leveraging MRI reporter gene and cell tracking research to advance molecular cardiac MRI.

Moriel has also worked with various organizations, including the University of California, Berkeley, where she served as an assistant professor of bioengineering, the University of Kentucky, where she served as an assistant professor of physiology and biomedical engineering, and the Weizmann Institute of Science, where she spent three years as a Whitaker International Postdoctoral Scholar.

In addition to her research prowess, Moriel is skilled in pulse sequence programming in Bruker, Varian VNMRJ, and Siemens IDEA environments; image reconstruction programming in Siemens ICE environment; and general programming in MATLAB, Labview, and C/C++. She excels in animal experiment techniques, cell culture, immuno-histochemical, and basic molecular biology techniques.
