What an event!
Huge thanks to the organizers and everyone who stopped by to chat and exchange ideas. I’m always excited to bring open, accessible conversations to non-scientific audiences - breaking down the barriers of complex science and medicine.
Truly enjoyed every moment! 😎

🧬New paper!

@sissid.bsky.social & co-authors explored microbiota-derived metabolites in ascites from ovarian and GI cancer patients. With 4D #metabolomics, they found shared profiles in advanced disease and links to immune markers like IL-10.

This enables us to provide simulation derived ground truth, which opens a new level to develop and evaluate advanced algorithms (like motion correction or AI-based denoising), optimize imaging protocols, and explore novel approaches in dosimetry and tracer multiplexing💫

...enabling faster scans, lower radiation doses, and new diagnostic possibilities🩻🧪

With our simulation and reconstruction framework (validated with real experiments according to NEMA NU-2 2018), we can now recreate realistic patient scans in-silico – without ever touching a patient.
