Monique Bernsen

Monique Bernsen is an Assistant Professor at Erasmus MC, specializing in Radiology & Nuclear Medicine. Her research focuses on advancing imaging techniques for clinical and preclinical applications, particularly in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. She leads work on standardizing preclinical imaging protocols and developing radiotracers for diagnosing cardiovascular conditions and inflammation.

Her research interests include preclinical imaging technologies (SPECT/PET), translational imaging methodologies, and the application of nuclear imaging in cardiac diseases. She collaborates internationally to enhance the translational power of small animal imaging and improve diagnostic accuracy for conditions like atherosclerosis.

Key contributions include guideline development for quality control in preclinical imaging and exploring post-infarction inflammation using radiotracers. Her recent articles address standardization challenges, hybrid imaging techniques, and identifying high-risk carotid plaques through SPECT/CT.

Bernsen has supervised 8 academic works but no specific student names are listed. While no formal awards are mentioned, her active role in editorial and guideline development highlights her scholarly impact. Collaborations span multiple countries, though specific institutions are not detailed here.
