Erasmus MC
Erasmus MC stands for a healthy population and excellence in healthcare. By conducting groundbreaking work, we aim to push boundaries through leading the way in research, education and healthcare. We have access to the latest equipment and techniques in a state-of-the-art environment.
The Department of Biomedical Engineering (Thorax Center) is a group of 50 researchers performing highly innovative research in cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy. We focus on translational research in ultrasound imaging and image processing, ultrasound contrast agents for molecular imaging and drug delivery, intravascular techniques and hemodynamics. The Biomedical Engineering Department is composed of engineers, biologists and clinicians, closely collaborating on cutting-edge cardiovascular research. Its vibrant working environment attracts highly motivated researchers from all over the world.
The Department of Neuroscience is one of the largest and most prominent neuroscience research groups in the world. The research is focused on three pillars: Sensory Systems, Neurodevelopmental and Cognitive Disorders, and Motor Systems. In all groups, integrated and translational approaches are applied, approaching neuroscientific questions at genetic, molecular, cellular and systems level in animal models and human patients. In addition, there is a strong focus on the development of new experimental techniques such as functional ultrasound imaging as well as on the integration of knowledge using state-of-the-art modelling approaches. The Department of Neuroscience hosts more than 100 people and publishes regularly in high-impact journals
