Jurgen E. Schneider, PhD

Chair in Biomedical Imaging
University of Leeds
University of Leeds, United Kingdom

Jürgen E. Schneider, PhD, is a Wellcome Trust Investigator in Science and holds a Chair in Biomedical Imaging at the Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine, University of Leeds. After completing his PhD with Dr M. von Kienlin / Prof A. Haase at the University of Würzburg in Germany in 2000, he joined Prof S. Neubauer’s group at the University of Oxford as postdoctoral research fellow. He established himself as a major driving force nationally and internationally in the development and application of experimental cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) for rapid, non-invasive and comprehensive phenotyping of the rodent heart at ultra-high magnetic fields and has published extensively in this field. He was awarded a BHF Basic Science Lectureship (2006), a BHF Senior Basic Science Research Fellowship (2010) and a Full Professorship from the University of Oxford (2016). He accepted a personal chair in Leeds in 2016, where he directs the Experimental and Preclinical Imaging Centre (ePIC) and, together with Prof Sven Plein, he co-directs the clinical Advanced Imaging Centre (AIC). His research focuses on the development of (rapid) quantitative, translational imaging methods, particularly cardiac diffusion MRI, and on MRS for the assessment of (cardiac) metabolism.
