Deputy Head of MIAAI (Medical Image Analysis & Artificial Intelligence)
Professor Julia Furtner-Srajer is Professor of Radiology at the Danube Private University and Deputy Head of the MIAAI.
She received her medical training at the Medical University of Vienna, completing a PhD thesis on the Clinical Neurosciences doctoral programme, and was formerly head of the intraoperative MRI, the neuroradiological PET/MRI and the neurooncological imaging research group at the Medical University of Vienna.
Professor Furtner-Srajer is board member of several national and international societies, including the ÖGNR (Austrian Neuroradiology Society), the Brain Tumour Group and Imaging Group of the EORTC (European Organisation of Research and Treatment of Cancer), EURACAN (European Reference Network on Rare Adult Cancers), the ESMO (European Society of Medical Oncology) Brain Tumour Group and COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
She has authored over 100 peer-reviewed articles and serves as Associate Editor of the journal Frontiers in Radiology. Her research focuses on advanced neuro-oncology imaging and imaging biomarkers.
