معرفی
Prof. Fritz Schick is a faculty member at the University of Tübingen, serving as the Deputy Head of the Division 'Pathophysiology of Prediabetes' at the Helmholtz Diabetes Center. He also holds a permanent professorship as Head of the Section on Experimental Radiology within the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at Tuebingen University Hospital. His work focuses on developing non-invasive methods to characterize tissue composition and function in pre-diabetes and diabetes.
- M.D. (1989) and Physics (1990) graduate from University of Tübingen
Research Interests: Schick's research spans quantitative MRI and MRS for applications in musculature, liver, adipose tissue, and bone marrow. His work bridges medical physics with metabolic disease analysis, emphasizing non-invasive diagnostics and cohort studies.
Publication Trends: Recent articles highlight his expertise in MRI-based quantification of metabolic tissues, including studies on visceral adipose tissue distribution (German National Cohort), hepatokines in NAFLD, and deep learning for diabetes detection from whole-body MRI. Collaborations span radiology, endocrinology, and computational biology.
Scientific Awards:
