holds a BSc in Physics from the University of Crete in Greece. He obtained his Msc in “Medical Physics – Radiophysics” from the Kapodistrian University of Athens. The aim of his MSc thesis was twofold. Firstly, to measure and characterize the temperature dependence of T2 relaxation time utilizing two major T2 mapping sequences: Multi – Echo Spin Echo and 2D Half – Fourier Acquisition Single- Shot Turbo Spin Echo. Secondly, using both of sequences he wanted to investigate the correlation between T2 relaxation time and electrical conductivity at a given temperature. His current scientific interests center on Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging – Guided Hyperthermia.

Berlin Registry of Neuroimmunological entities (BERLimmun): protocol of a prospective observational study

Diana Andrés Bautista graduated in Physics in 2018 and obtained a Master's degree in Medical Physics in 2020, both from the Universitat de València. In October 2018 she obtained the Data Science Talent Program grant from Banco Santander in Madrid, where she worked for a year on the development of predictive models while pursuing a Master's degree in Big Data at the Escuela de Organización Industrial. In October 2019 she returned to Valencia to work on the generation of acoustic holograms applied to transcranial ultrasound therapies at the Institute of Instrumentation for Molecular Imaging (I3M) thanks to the CSIC JAE-Intro grant. Since September 2020, she has been pursuing her PhD studies in the same group with the FPU grant from the Ministry of Science and Universities, specializing in the development of metamaterials for the creation of precise acoustic holograms and the modelling of focused ultrasound beams through the skull and soft tissue. These techniques enable safe, non-invasive and non-ionising brain therapy and cancer treatment. During this period she has been collaborating with the Centro de Neurociencias de Madrid in the development and application of holograms for localized and monitored drug delivery in the brain, with the iCUBE of the Université d'Strasbourg / CNRS (France) for the development of ultrasound-induced thermal holograms and with the Institute of Cancer Research (UK) in the application of ultrasound to generate hyperthermia in a region of interest and apply it on different cancer models, where she did a research stay.
