Curriculum Vitae

Tobias Knopp received his Diplom degree in computer science in 2007 and his PhD in 2010, both from the University of Lübeck with highest distinction. For his PHD on the tomographic imaging method Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) he was awarded with the Klee award from the DGBMT (VDE) in 2011. From 2010 until 2011 he led the MAPIT project at the University of Lübeck and published the first scientific book on MPI. In 2011 he joined Bruker Biospin to work on the first commercially available MPI system. From 2012 until 2014 he worked at Thorlabs in the field of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as a software developer. In 2014 he has been appointed as Professor for experimental Biomedical Imaging at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Hamburg University of Technology.

Abstract: The imaging quality of Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is not just limited by the MPI system but also by the quality of available tracers. The tracer quality can be improved by optimizing the shape, core size and shell of the nanoparticles. However, such a defined synthesis is quiet challenging. Biogenic magnetic nanoparticles, so-called magnetosomes, synthesized by magnetotoactic bacteria, might provide a promising alternative. In this study, magnetosomes isolated from different Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense mutant strains biomineralizing particles with varying core diameters were investigated with regard to their usability as tracers for MPI.
