Prof. Dr. Henning Boecker is a Professor and Cooperation Unit Leader at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), affiliated with the Clinic for Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at University Hospital Bonn. His research focuses on noninvasive neuroimaging techniques, particularly PET, to investigate physiological and pathophysiological processes in the human brain.

• Key research areas: Neuroimaging, Neurodegenerative Diseases, Cerebral Metabolism, Amyloid-beta, Tau Proteins.
• Specialized in FDG-PET for neuronal function assessment and early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
• Implemented standardized protocols for multicenter studies (DEMDAS, DELCODE, ENERGI) involving amyloid and tau PET imaging.

Collaborated with the Department of Nuclear Medicine at the University of Cologne to develop innovative tracers and joint data analysis procedures. Utilizes XNAT for data storage and PMOD/SPM for preprocessing and statistical analyses.
