Research

Diamond Magnetometry is a new technique which allows nanoscale MRI. The aim of our team is to apply this technique to biomedical applications. We are interested in all aspects of this technique from fundamental method development all the way to answering biological questions or even applications in the clinic.

Open positions

Interested in joining us?

​

PhDs and postdocs:

Natural scientists with all kinds of background and an interest in interdisciplinary research are welcome to apply. There are currently no positions but it might be possible to create positions for highly motivated and talented candidates. Candidates with prospects to bring their own funding are always welcome to apply and receive support for their application. Please contact me at romana.schirhagl@gmail.com

Self Funded candidates:

We are also always happy to support promising candidates who are interested

in applying for their own funds. Opportunities for people from different countries can be found here: https://www.rug.nl/education/scholarships/findscholarships

Nanodiamonds as labels for integrated microscopy

integrated_microscopy.png

Integrated microscopy combines electron microscopy (EM) with light microscopy. However, conventional dyes bleach during the sample preparation for EM. NV centers in diamond, however, are protected within the lattice and thus remain fluorescent. As a result one can at the same time label cells optically and investigate the membrane structure. We can learn from this were diamond particles are within cells.
