Metabolic MRI Workshop, Cambridge, UK
May 5-6, 2022
The NICI consortium invites you to a workshop on Metabolic MRI, held on 5-6 May 2022 at the beautiful location of the Cambridge Union.
The workshop is part of the European project NICI (Non-Invasive Chemistry Imaging in the human body) that started in 2018. In this project, 5 European academic (hospital) centers cooperate with large and smaller industry partners to unite metabolimics with MRI.
We look forward to interesting sessions with invited speakers, speakers from the NICI consortium and contributions of participants (please submit your abstract!).
