Our PhD student Nicolas Zucker receives a Poster Award at EMIM 2024

The European Molecular Imaging Meeting is an annual conference gathering scientists from multiple disciplines in molecular imaging. In the 2024 edition, our PhD student Nicolas Zucker won the Poster Award in the session “Ultrasound & Optoacoustics technologies I”.

Nicolas Zucker presented his work on functional ultrasound localization microscopy (fULM), which he deployed to study the brain functions in mouse models of cerebral small vessel diseases. With his colleagues at Institute Physics for Medicine Paris, and collaborators at Leiden University Medical Center and Iconeus company, he demonstrated that fULM is capable of detecting hemodynamics alterations caused by the disease. In particular, This study is carried as part of the MicroVasc project, funded by the European Innovation Council.
