Team

Dr. Francesca Branzoli is a researcher at INSERM within the "Genetics and Development of Brain Tumors" team at the Paris Brain Institute. She holds a doctorate in physics from the University of Pavia (2011) and completed postdoctoral research at Leiden University Medical Center, focusing on advanced diffusion-based MR spectroscopy at 7T. Her research centers on developing novel MRI methods for in vivo diagnosis and monitoring of gliomas, with an emphasis on clinical translation.

Dr. Małgorzata (Gosia) Marjańska is a Professor of Radiology at the University of Minnesota and a leading researcher at the Center for Magnetic Resonance Research (CMRR). Her principal role involves developing and applying advanced Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) techniques to study the human brain, particularly in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. She is an expert in high-field MR physics, biochemical profiling of brain tissue, and in vivo spectroscopy, with a strong foundation in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) from her early academic training.

Thesis Project: Identification of Brain Biomarkers in Gliomas and Their Monitoring with MR Spectroscopy.
Developed a prototype platform to support clinical translation of a fully automated pipeline for processing both edited and non-edited MRS data — from raw DICOM (.dcm) files to glioma-specific diagnostic outputs — as part of ongoing PhD research.
