Rudolf Karch

Rudolf Karch serves as an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Computer Science, specifically within the Research Group Workflow Systems and Technology. Despite his computer science affiliation, his research output primarily focuses on neuroscience, pharmacology, and medical imaging, demonstrating an interdisciplinary approach to complex biomedical problems.

His research expertise spans Neuroscience (particularly blood-brain barrier mechanisms), Pharmacokinetics, PET Imaging, and Mathematical Modeling. Dr. Karch's work bridges computational methodologies with biomedical research, applying techniques from computer science to advance understanding of neural transmission and drug delivery mechanisms.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on transporter proteins at the blood-brain barrier and their implications for pharmaceutical development. His 2019 publications in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine demonstrate sophisticated use of PET imaging to study drug kinetics, with significant citation impact (29 and 41 citations respectively).

Dr. Karch's research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being) through advancing knowledge of neurological disorders and improving therapeutic approaches for brain-targeted drug delivery.
