Moriel Vandsburger, a highly skilled bioengineer, is making significant strides in molecular MRI techniques for cardiac and cellular imaging. She earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Virginia in 2010. During her studies, Moriel developed advanced MRI methods to assess myocardial blood flow in the heart and elucidate the in vivo roles of nitric oxide synthase isoforms using manganese-enhanced MRI. After her doctoral studies, Moriel spent approximately three years as a Whitaker International Postdoctoral Scholar at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, where she expanded on her MRI research to include molecular cardiac MRI, MRI reporter gene, and cell tracking. Her lab focuses on developing pulse sequence programming in Bruker, Varian VNMRJ, and Siemens IDEA environments and has vast programming experience in Matlab, Labview, and C/C++. Moriel’s experience also includes animal experiment techniques, cell culture, immuno-histochemical, and basic molecular biology.
