Introduction

Invited Speakers
Registration Information
Conference Handbook


Dynamic Nuclear Polarisation (DNP) has received in the last few years increased attention by the NMR community since a string of recent papers has demonstrated that DNP strategies in conjunction with appropriate hardware could be used to enhance sensitivity in a wide range of NMR and MRI experiments.

The intention of this symposium is to bring scientists across the NMR community together to discuss progress in any kind of NMR research that involves DNP. The plan is to cover as many aspects of DNP as possible with sessions focusing on hardware development, different DNP strategies and theoretical considerations, in vitro applications of DNP in spectroscopy and imaging as well as in vivo applications in the medical MRI field.
