Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrancesco Grussu is a biomedical engineer and senior investigator specializing in computational and quantitative MRI with over a decade of focused research in diffusion MRI for neurological disease and oncology. He holds a PhD in Magnetic Resonance Physics from UCL and has led translational projects at VHIO developing histology-informed, AI-powered diffusion MRI methods for precision cancer imaging, including a Beatriu de Pinós and a la Caixa Junior Leader Fellowship. His work bridges careful biophysical model development, histological validation, and machine learning to extract clinically meaningful biomarkers, with notable experience in spinal cord MRI for multiple sclerosis and liver cancer imaging. An elected trainee representative for the ISMRM White Matter Study Group, he combines academic leadership with international collaborations (including a research visit to NYU) and a practical engineering background in signal processing and experimental design.
