Grzegorz Chadzynski

Grzegorz Chadzynski is a Research Fellow at the Department of High-field Magnetic Resonance, Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, and concurrently at the Department of Biomedical Magnetic Resonance, University Hospital Tübingen, both affiliated with Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen. His research focuses on advancing proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques at ultra-high magnetic fields (9.4 T) for neuroscience and clinical applications.

His educational background includes:

• Dr. sc. hum from Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (2009-2012) on 'Development of CSI without water suppression for the purpose of clinical applications in the human brain'
• Master Degree in Experimental Physics, Major in Medical Physics from University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland (2005-2007)
• Bachelor of Science Degree in Medical Physics from University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland (2002-2005)

Dr. Chadzynski's research primarily addresses challenges in chemical shift imaging (CSI) at ultra-high fields, including improved signal-to-noise ratio, spectral resolution, and development of fast acquisition techniques. His work has significant applications in characterizing brain biochemistry and assessing gliomas through metabolite analysis, particularly focusing on detecting 2-hydroxyglutarate as a biomarker for IDH-mutated gliomas.

His publications demonstrate expertise in overcoming technical limitations of ultra-high field MRSI, including lipid contamination reduction, phase distortion correction, and optimization of water suppression techniques. His research bridges physics, neuroscience, and oncology, with emphasis on translating advanced MRSI techniques to clinical applications for improved brain tumor diagnosis and monitoring.

His research has been supported by competitive grants including the Fortüne junior grant (2014-2016) for 'A novel approach to assess an extended biochemical profile of the human brain by the means of fast and efficient in-vivo proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging at 9.4 Tesla' (project no. F 1358006.1), a 2-year E13 full-time position funded by the Tübingen Medical Faculty research program.
