Projects

During her PhD research (Wageningen University) and the following four years (Leiden University and Nijmegen University) Marinette van der Graaf studied the conformation of biomolecules by multi-dimensional heteronuclear NMR. In June 1995 she joined the Department of Radiology of the Radboud University Nijmegen where she started to study human metabolism by in vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS). She contributed to projects on prostate cancer, brain tumours (e.g. INTERPRET), diabetes and hepatic steatosis. In addition, she worked on the implementation of brain MRS as a standard clinical tool to study metabolic defects. Since September 2008 she combines her work at the Dept of Radiology with a part-time position at the Clinical Physics Laboratory of the Dept of Pediatrics and in January 2011 she started her training to become a Medical Physicist.
