MI-VascAD Symposium 28.09.2026

Connecting Vascular Research Across Campus

 

We are excited to host the first symposium of the “Schwerpunktprogramm MI-VascAD”. This event is our chance to introduce our work to the wider University of Lübeck community and to build new connections across departments and research groups on campus.

• Keynote lecture by Prof. Carmen Ruiz de Almodóvar (Institute for Neurovascular Cell Biology, Bonn)
   
• Talks from MI-VascAD project members spanning pharmacology, rheumatology, radiology, and ophthalmology
   
  • Magnetic Particle Imaging as a Theranostic Platform — Dr. Mandy Ahlborg
  • Neurocognitive Impairment triggered by Autoantibodies: Insights into mechanisms and diagnostics — Dr. Hanna Grasshoff
  • New Technologies for Quantitative Imaging of Retinal Vessels — Prof. Gereon Hüttmann
  • Systemic Disease and Ocular Circulation — Prof. Yoko Miura
  • GPCRs at the Circumventricular Organs: An Overlooked Problem in Graves' Disease? — PD Dr. Helge Müller-Fielitz
  • Antibody-conjugated Magnetic Particles in Vascular Autoimmunity: From Linker Chemistry to a Functional Tracer — Dr. Anja Stähle
  • Endothelial Dysfunction and Cerebral Perfusion – How Vascular GPCR signaling affects the Brain — PD Dr. Jan Wenzel
     
• Buffet & networking to close the afternoon

Whether your research touches on autoimmunity, vascular biology, imaging, antibody-conjugates or none of the above - we would love to meet you. All university members and students are warmly invited to join us.
