The Biomedical Photonic Imaging group (www.utwente.nl/bmpi) investigates
the use of light for medical purposes. Our final aim is to develop optical and
hybrid optical-acoustical technologies for diagnosis, in particular in the fields
of oncology and wound healing. Our current technologies include photoacoustics, acousto-optics, and coherent optical methods. Properties of primary
interest are vascularisation, hemoglobin concentrations, and blood oxygenation. Furthermore we focus on the quantified detection and imaging of functionalized contrast agents and optically labeled targeted drugs.
Our main involvement in the Center for Medical imaging—North East Netherlands focuses on the photoacoustic detection of cancer. We develop photoacoustic mammography which now undergoes clinical testing together with the
MST Hospital. Together with the Medical Oncology department of the UMC
Groningen we will investigate photoacoustic detection of fluorescently labeled
antibody drugs.

University Medical Centre Groningen
UMCG is one of the largest public healthcare institutions in the Netherlands.
With more than 10,000 employees, UMCG is constantly building on the future
of health, based on bringing together clear ideas, brilliant people and excellent infrastructure. UMCG aims to be an internationally leading University
Medical Center, where knowledge about health, disease and healthcare is
generated, tested, shared and applied. UMCG’s core activities are to carry
out cutting-edge scientific research from ‘bench to bedside’ and to provide
state-of-the-art healthcare. In addition, UMCG is leading in the educational
training of students, medical and biomedical researchers, doctors and other
academic professionals. Breaking new ground, sharing knowledge and caring
for people are the core values that reflect UMCG’s strategic choices with
respect to investment, collaboration and innovation.
Prof. Matthijs Oudkerk, MD PhD received his medical training and PhD
(Infusion rate in the enterclysis examinations, 1982) at the University of Leiden. He was head of the Department of Radiology of the Daniel den Hoed
Clinic in Rotterdam from 1988—2000. In September 2000, Prof. Oudkerk
became full professor and chair of Radiology at the University of Groningen
and was assigned at the University Medical Center Groningen. He was president of the European Society of Cardiac Radiology (ESCR) from 2003—2008
and member and fellow of many national and international radiological societies. He is (co-)author of over 370 publications in international journals and
editor of several books. His main radiological interests are in (non-)invasive
vascular imaging and oncological imaging. He is Medical Scientific Director of
CMINEN since January 2011.
Healthy Ageing is the central theme of all UMCG’s core activities. Healthy
ageing is a lifelong process that starts before conception, with parents who
pass on their genes and with these the risks and opportunities for either a
healthy life course or the occurrence of various illnesses. In addition, lifestyle
and various other, environmental factors have a major influence on the balance between health and illness. The UMCG’s multidisciplinary research teams
extend from fundamental biological and (pre)clinical research through applied
research into social-societal effects of disease and health. In this way results
can be translated rapidly into adequate and/or improved prevention and treatment methods, leading to new insights, know-how and products.

The Center for Medical Imaging - North East Netherlands (CMINEN) is the
result of a joint initiative of University Twenten/Institute for Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicaine MIRA , University Medical CenterGroningen/
University of Groningen and Siemens Healthcare. Clinical needs will drive the
CMINEN ’s research agenda. Research at CMINEN is focused on the use of
current and new imaging technologies to address clinical demands for early
diagnosis, early intervention and minimally-invasive therapies.
In our opinion, it is important to form complementary teams with a broad
spectrum of knowledge in order to effectively transfer technology to the market. In our network there are many companies which can help with licensing,
patenting, commercialization or valorization.
The Innovation Cluster of CMINEN has an important role in bringing people
together. We organize get-together meetings, initiate new projects, provide
project management support and help to allocate for funding sources. This all
happens in close cooperation with Kennispark, Healthvalley and OostNV.
