Brett Paterson
Dr Brett Paterson obtained his PhD in chemistry from the University of Melbourne. He is a synthetic inorganic/organic chemist with extensive experience in the design, synthesis and evaluation of radiotracers/radiopharmaceuticals for therapy and imaging applications. His current research interests include synthesis; bioconjugation chemistry; radiochemistry; peptide synthesis; nanotechnology; diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy; and multidisciplinary translational research. Dr Paterson was awarded a Victoria Fellowship in 2011, which he used to conduct postdoctoral research and receive specialist training in radiochemistry, biology and molecular imaging at King’s College London and Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School. He received a Victorian Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in 2013 and returned to King’s College London, where he was investigating targeted alpha therapy (TAT). Dr Paterson was a Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellow in the School of Chemistry, Monash University from 2017 to 2019.
Tim Rosenow
Dr Tim Rosenow is a physicist and the Facility Fellow for the 9.4T preclinical MRI at the University of Western Australia node. In his PhD, he designed and optimised MRI sequences and low-dose CT protocols for detecting paediatric lung disease in humans. He has designed, validated and patented medical image analysis techniques for disease quantification in respiratory conditions. His current research interest is the use of novel MRI techniques to measure physiological processes and their behaviour in health and disease.
Steffen Bollmann
Dr Steffen Bollmann is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Advanced Imaging, UQ. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in science / biomedical engineering at the Ilmenau University of Technology, followed by a Masters degree in biomedical engineering & bioelectromagnetism. Following this, Steffen completed a PhD investigating multimodal imaging in ADHD children, adolescents and adults at the Neuroscience Centre Zurich and the Centre for MR-research, University Children’s Hospital Zurich. Steffen joined the Centre for Advanced Imaging, University of Queensland, in October 2014, where he is applying his expertise in multimodal imaging in the group of Prof. Markus Barth combining high-resolution quantitative imaging (susceptibility, T1, T2*), functional MRI (fMRI), and electroencephalography (EEG) with the goal to understand the relationship between functional networks and to work towards identifying early biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases. Exploiting the high signal levels of ultra-high field 7 Tesla MRI he aims to investigate and quantify disease processes on a single subject level.
Georgia Williams
Georgia Williams is a research radiographer at SAHMRI’s preclinical, imaging and research laboratories (PIRL).
In 2017, Georgia completed a bachelor of medical radiation science (medical imaging) (honours) (UniSA) and holds graduate certificates in magnetic resonance technology (UQ) and health services management (safety and quality) (UTAS).
At PIRL, Georgia supports researchers with protocol advice and execution across PIRL’s imaging capabilities: 3T MRI, PET/CT, fluoroscopy and radiography. Georgia is experienced in diagnostic veterinary imaging and novel preclinical imaging applications such as foetal cardiac imaging in models of intrauterine growth restriction, imaging assessment of magnetic tracers, and ex vivo organ imaging using MRI.
