The project, involving Charité Universitaetsmedizin Berlin (Germany) and associate partner University of Ottawa Molecular Medicine Lab (Canada), brings together experts in cutting-edge imaging techniques, including photon-counting CT scans and molecular imaging using nanoparticles.
The work is supported by funding from the British Council's Going Global Partnerships programme, which aims to boost international research and training links.
As part of the collaboration, researchers will deliver a series of online seminars and specialist training modules, making high-level teaching resources more widely available to postgraduate students and early career scientists. The programme will also support research placements in both the UK and Germany, allowing teams to share data, develop common experimental methods and work towards joint scientific publications and conference presentations.
Rafail Kotronias, DPhil Student in the Antoniades Group in AMIIC said: 'A key goal of the partnership is to create lasting international pathways for early career researchers, helping them build skills, networks and long-term collaborations.
'The project will conclude with joint applications for further research funding, laying the groundwork for sustained cooperation and future advances in cardiovascular imaging research.'
