What do we do?
The team consists of dedicated experts who passionately work to improve the medical world through innovative research and the implementation of groundbreaking technologies. Under the leadership of Prof. Barentsz, the foundation works towards a healthier future by advancing knowledge and care in the field of advanced imaging.
Radiologist, member of Academia Europaea, Chairman of the Foundation
He combats diseases, especially cancer, using medical imaging. Barentsz conceives, validates and implements innovations in Medical Imaging, both in the field of iron contrast agents and nano-batteries.
Scientist and radiologist, Secretary of the Foundation
His focus is on the rapid application of new imaging techniques in medical care, with particular attention to clinical oncological MRI imaging using iron contrast agents. Dr. Hambrock specializes in translating innovative imaging technologies into practical clinical use, especially in the field of oncology. His expertise lies in developing and implementing advanced MRI techniques that utilize iron-based contrast agents to improve cancer detection and characterization.
Scientist and retired radiologist, Treasurer of the Foundation
His focus is on (co-)developing the bio-battery. Dr. Maes earned his PhD in experimental contrast agents for MRI (Berlin, 2009). As a retired radiologist and experienced researcher, he brings valuable expertise to the foundation's innovative projects, particularly in the development of bio-battery technology. His background in experimental MRI contrast agents provides a strong foundation for advancing novel medical imaging and treatment approaches.

Fantastic, the doctors only inject some iron particles. These go to normal cells, except cancer.
In the past it took years to find the cancer in the body. Thanks to this harmless "iron-water" this can be done accurately fast and without pain.
Bert Hooijer was in augustus 2014 ‘behoorlijk in mineur’. Na twee jaar was de uitgezaaide
prostaatkanker terug. In een heel agressieve vorm. Zijn behandeling zou niet meer gericht
zijn op genezing, alleen op levensverlenging. ‘Ik dacht: het eindspel gaat beginnen’, vertelt
de 71-jarige gepensioneerd geluidstechnicus uit Friesland.
Hooijer had er op dat moment al een heel traject op zitten. De ziekte was in eerste instantie
over het hoofd gezien. Toen het gezwel later alsnog werd gevonden, koos hij zelf voor een
operatie in het Duitse Gronau. Het gespecialiseerde ziekenhuis beschikte namelijk al over
een Da Vinci-robot, waarmee heel nauwkeurige operaties mogelijk zijn. Nog eens dertig
bestralingen later waren de PSA-waardes teruggezakt naar nul.
Na twee jaar leek de kanker toch te gaan winnen. Tot Hooijer op de website van de Stichting
Prostaatkanker las hij over een experimentele behandeling met behulp van een nanopartikel MRI. 'Ik stuiterde door de kamer. Halleluja. Ik kon iets doen.’ Hooijer kon terecht bij
professor Jelle Barentsz van het Radboud Ziekenhuis in Nijmegen. ‘Fantastisch was dat. In
feite doen ze niets anders dan hele kleine ijzerdeeltjes in je bloed brengen. Die gaan in alle
cellen zitten, behalve in de kankercellen. Op een scan blijven de uitzaaiingen dan wit. Zo
kunnen ze zelfs de kleinste uitzaaiinkjes vinden.’
De zoektocht voerde vervolgens naar Amsterdam, naar het Antoni van Leeuwenhoek
ziekenhuis, dat beschikte over heel nauwkeurige bestralingstechniek. Hooijer: ‘Vanuit
verschillende hoeken konden ze heel gericht bestralen, met een hoge dosis, precies op de
twee plekjes die waren gevonden. Ik voelde er niets van.’ Drie maanden later volgde de
controle. Hooijer was somber, maar tot zijn verrassing zat de PSA-waarde onder de 0,01. De
kanker was niet meer zichtbaar. ‘Tita tovenaar. Ik stuiterde weer.’ Hooijer zag zijn stelling
dat een patiënt altijd zelf moet blijven nadenken, weer eens bevestigd. ‘Bij zo’n ziekte is
eigen initiatief zo belangrijk.’
Inmiddels schaatst Hooijer weer volop. ‘Ik voel me net een jonge god ‘
