Shawn Wagneis an Assistant Professor for Department of Biomedical Sciences, Cedars-Sinai, Los Angeles, USA. The research of Shawn Wagner, PhD, focuses on hyperpolarization, a new and emerging field within magnetic resonance imaging, which provides enhancement of signal over 10,000 times what is currently available. His current research utilizes a method of polarization using parahydrogen to transfer the polarization from the hydrogen nuclei to a carbon or nitrogen nucleus with a slower signal decay allowing for in vivo studies, focusing on prostate and breast cancer.
