Academic Career and Research Areas
Prof. Makowski is the director of the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at the Klinikum rechts der Isar of the TU Munich since 2020. His scientific focus is on quantitative imaging and the application of AI methods in radiology. His experimental scientific focus is on quantitative molecular imaging with a focus on ECM and immunoimaging. His clinical focus is on the evaluation and establishment of new quantitative biomarkers in radiology.
After studying human medicine, Prof. Makowski completed his dissertation at the LMU Munich in 2007. He successfully completed his PhD studies at King's College London, School of Medicine, London in 2010. In 2013, his habilitation (Charité) was awarded the Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen Prize. In 2016, he received an appointment to a W2 Heisenberg Professorship (Charité).
