Schading, Simon

Simon obtained his Master's degree in Medicine from the University of Zurich and the Swiss Federal Examination in Human Medicine in 2020. His main interest is in novel magnetic resonance (MR) methods for the investigation of pathological processes in the brain and the spinal cord. He started his MD-PhD in Neuroscience in the Neuroimaging Group of Prof. Dr. Patrick Freund at the Balgrist University Hospital in February 2021. His research includes multimodal MR investigation across the whole neuroaxis after spinal cord injury (SCI) by applying structural and functional MRI methods as well as MR spectroscopy to assess and track the pathophysiological changes following SCI. After finishing his MD-PhD he is going to start his clinical training in Neuroradiology while staying closely connected to research.
