Dr. Peter Niedbalski received his BS in Mathematics and Physics at Benedictine College and his PhD in Physics at The University of Texas at Dallas. After focusing on the hyperpolarization of 13C-labeled molecules for his PhD, he transitioned to pulmonary imaging using hyperpolarized 129Xe during his post-doctoral fellowship in the Center for Pulmonary Imaging Research at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. He is a research assistant professor in the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at the University of Kansas Medical Center. His main research focuses on using hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI to better understand lung structure and function in the context of health and lung disease. In addition, he is interested in developing and harmonizing MRI-based lung imaging protocols that can be used broadly across sites and vendor platforms.
