Frank Michael Bengel (born August 14, 1969 in Würzburg ) is a German nuclear medicine specialist and university professor. He is director of the Clinic for Nuclear Medicine and Dean of Research at the Medical University of Hanover .

Life

Bengel studied human medicine from 1988 to 1995 and did his doctorate at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg . He completed his specialist training in nuclear medicine from 1995 to 2000 at the Nuclear Medicine Clinic of the Technical University of Munich. He was then appointed senior physician and in 2002 received the venia legendi (habilitation) for the field of nuclear medicine at the medical faculty of the Technical University of Munich . In 2004 he was appointed to the Johns Hopkins University , Baltimore, MD, USA, where he was Associate Professor of Radiology and Medicine and Director of Cardiovascular Nuclear Medicine from 2005 to 2010 . In 2009, Bengel was offered a W3 professorship and position of director of the Clinic for Nuclear Medicine at the Medical University of Hanover, where he started his service in January 2011. In April 2020, he also took on the duties of Dean of Research at the Hannover Medical School.

Bengel published more than 300 original papers and reviews in scientific journals as well as more than 20 book chapters.

The Clinic for Nuclear Medicine at the Medical University of Hanover, which he heads, is one of the leading institutions in the field, looking back on a history that goes back to the founding days and various pioneering achievements. Even today, all current diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the field are carried out there.

research

The focus of Bengel's scientific work is the use of non-invasive imaging methods to investigate functional processes in the body (especially in the cardiovascular system ). He advanced the development of nuclear medicine techniques to study blood flow, metabolism, and the nervous system of the heart, and introduced innovative methods for imaging gene expression , tracking stem cells, and mapping mechanisms of inflammation and organ healing. The focus of his work is the rapid transfer of new diagnostic tests into patient care in order to enable early detection of diseases and improve individual treatment choices.

Functions in scientific associations

Bengel holds the following positions in national and international scientific associations:
