Our Team

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.

Prof. Dr. Jelle Barentsz


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.


Dr. Thomas Hambrock


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.

Dr. Rob Maes


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.
