Associate Professor Claudia Hillenbrand (PhD, MBA) is the inaugural Director of Research Imaging NSW (Research Imaging New South Wales | Facilities & Infrastructure - UNSW Research), the UNSW Human Imaging Research Facility at the Prince of Wales Hospital.��Claudia is an experienced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) physicist who over her career has consistently devoted her research effort to imaging innovation & technology improvement, development of quantitative and functional MRI methods for basic and population research and active translation of imaging innovations into clinical studies and routine clinical applications. She is internationally recognised for her work in quantitative MRI-based liver iron assessment. She is a founding member of the Liver Iron Disease Focused Panel for the Society of Abdominal Radiology.�� She has gained extensive translational imaging expertise as a co-investigator in over 40 human imaging research studies and clinical trials casting a very wide net: for example functional, vascular and structural changes in the developing, ageing and ill brain; specific population imaging studies (i.e., in patients with sickle cell disease, epilepsy, survivors of cancer or elite contact sport athletes); abdominal organ integrity with specific focus on hepatic iron, susceptibility, fat quantification and elastography. Under Claudia's leadership RINSW has grown significantly, now also including teh RINSW human imaging research analysis support team, procured and installed new cutting-edge technology such as the world-first 4DMedical human lung ventilation scanner, and gained national attention as a technically and operationally outstanding multi-centre human imaging research study site.
