Head Working Group Cardiac MRI
Charité/ University Medicine Berlin and Helios, Germany
Dr. J. Schulz-Menger is a cardiologist specializing in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) since 1996, with a significant focus on non-ischemic heart disease, noninvasive hemodynamics, and translating research into clinical practice. She leads a high-throughput CMR center equipped with a dedicated CMR scanner, managed entirely by cardiologists. Board-certified in both cardiology and CMR, she has headed the Working Group CMR at Charité Campus Buch since 2004 and established the Department of Non-Invasive Cardiac Imaging in the clinical setting. She also founded a research outpatient department specializing in cardiomyopathies and rare diseases.
Dr. Schulz-Menger holds a University Professorship in Cardiology with a focus on noninvasive imaging and CMR. Her group conducts groundbreaking research on clinical CMR topics, including myocardial disease, hemodynamics, and data science, collaborating with MR scientists worldwide. A key area of interest is experimental 7T CMR in humans. The group has also established extensive CMR networks, including the Helios-Clinics network across Germany and BerCMR, a CMR research initiative at Charité. Their efforts have resulted in over 290 peer-reviewed publications.
The impact of her team extends beyond research. They have been pivotal in advancing CMR education, founding Berlin’s University CMR Courses and creating a strong foundation for CMR teaching nationally and internationally. Through collaborations, innovative research, and knowledge dissemination, the group has elevated the field of CMR, driving improvements in diagnosis and treatment for patients with cardiovascular diseases.
Dr. Schulz-Menger has held leadership roles, including serving on the ISMRM Board, as past-president of SCMR, and on the EACVI Board, She is also the spokesperson for the Faculty Council at Charité and the equality committee.
