Professor Rolf Gruetter has received a Fellow of the Society award by the ISMRM during their 2014 conference.
The ISMRM was founded in 1994 following the merging of the Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and the Society of Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It is an international association whose mission is to “promote communication, research, development, and applications in the field of magnetic resonance in medicine and biology and other related topics and to develop and provide channels and facilities for continuing education in the field.” It currently includes over 6,000 clinicians, physicists, engineers, biochemists, and technologists.
Professor Gruetter is the head of the Laboratory for Functional and Metabolic Imaging (LIFMET) at EPFL, and also leads various regional and national institutions in Switzerland. He is the Director of the Center for BioMedical Imaging (CIBM), a collaborative research initiative between EPFL, Université de Lausanne (UNIL), Université de Genève (UNIGE), Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève (HUG), and the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV). Professor Gruetter is also spokesperson for the ETH-domain National Competence for Biomedical Imaging (NCCBI) initiative, which aims to advance biomedical imaging technology in Switzerland beyond institution-specific investments and activities.
