About this position
The University of Turku is recruiting a doctoral researcher at the Turku PET Centre in Finland through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions PREFERENCE Doctoral Network. The project, “Effect of ischemic heart disease on multiorgan perfusion,” focuses on using long axial field-of-view (LAFOV) PET/CT to study cardiovascular disease and whole-body biological processes.
The doctoral researcher will conduct hands-on clinical research to improve the use of LAFOV PET/CT in patient care. The work will develop and evaluate methods for measuring perfusion simultaneously across organs during routine myocardial perfusion examinations. The project will examine the systemic effects of atherosclerosis and myocardial ischemia caused by coronary artery disease, linking changes in organ perfusion with patients’ sensations and experiences.
The research may also extend to cardiovascular inflammation using the novel 18-F-folate tracer. Through quantitative medical imaging and systems-biology approaches, the researcher will investigate how multiorgan physiology is affected by ischemic heart disease and how whole-body PET/CT can provide new clinical and biological insights.
Training will include automated analysis of LAFOV perfusion studies, multi-organ multiparametric kinetic analysis, and implementation and evaluation of parametric LAFOV imaging with reconstruction tools. Secondments at Regionhospitalet in Copenhagen, the University of Edinburgh, and Siemens Healthineers will provide experience across clinical, academic, and industrial research settings. Short visits to other PREFERENCE partners may support data and software exchange.
The researcher will join the Turku PET Centre, a joint institution of the University of Turku, Åbo Akademi University, and Turku University Hospital. The centre conducts positron emission tomography research and provides imaging services for academic research, clinical diagnostics, and drug development. The wider PREFERENCE consortium includes academic and industrial partners developing LAFOV PET/CT methodologies, imaging equipment, and multicentre image-analysis solutions.
This doctoral project combines cardiovascular medical science, biomedical engineering, medical physics, radiotracer imaging, quantitative PET/CT, and translational clinical research within an international, multidisciplinary network.
