Francesco Grussu
Senior Investigator, Radiomics Group · Vall d'Hebron Institute of Oncology
Biography
I graduated from the University of Cagliari (BEng Biomedical engineering, 2009) and University of Genoa (MEng Bioengineering, 2012), Italy. I then obtained a PhD from University College London (UCL, UK) in Magnetic Resonance Physics (2016). I worked as a post-doc at UCL from 2016 to 2020, where I investigated new ways of acquiring and analysing spinal cord diffusion MRI scans in multiple sclerosis. During my post-doc, I visited New York University (NY, USA) in 2017 (Sept-Nov), and I was elected Trainee representative (2018-2020) of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) White Matter Study Group. From October 2020 I have been a post-doctoral researcher at the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology, where I work on MRI for precision medicine in oncology. In September 2021 he was awarded a Beatriu de Pinós Fellowship, and from September 2022 I am a “la Caixa” Foundation Junior Leader Fellow. From January 1st 2025, I am Senior Investigator at VHIO.
