Magnetic Resonance Research Center

Department

At the Magnetic Resonance Research Center (MRRC) we use advanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to unravel the structure and function of molecules and materials. Our instruments, ranging from bench top systems to ultra high field 850 and 950 MHz system, are housed in the Goudsmit pavilion. These are also made available to national and international researchers in the context of the uNMR-NL and PANACEA infrastructures. The department is part of Institute of Molecules and Materials (IMM).

Highlights

Zhiyu Zhu poster prize

Poster prize for Zhiyu Zhu at the Electrochemical Conversion National Symposium

The use of a benchtop NMR for in-situ product detection is a unique application showing promising preliminary results in terms of time and potential resolution.

Jop Wolffs receives Van Deemter Prize

Van Deemter Prize 2024 for MA student Jop Wolffs

Jop Wolffs, who did his MA internship in the Magnetic Resonance Research Centre within IMM, received the Van Deemter Award for his master thesis on developing wideline Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance to study mixed compositions of perovskites.

Royal Distinctions for seven Radboudians

On the occasion of King's Day this year, seven employees of Radboud University and Radboudumc receive a royal distinction for their exceptional scientific and/or social achievements.

Research

The MRRC combines the study of molecules and materials with NMR methodology and technology development. This includes groundbreaking microfluidic probe technology and liquid-state hyperpolarization concepts aimed at high throughput screening for drug discovery, pulsed methods to study quadrupolar nuclei in the solid state, operando methods for unraveling electrochemical processes ánd solid-state micro MAS technology for mass-limited sample. Discover a complete and detailed overview of our projects.

Internships

At the Magnetic Resonance Research Center we offer exciting internships for the Bachelor's ChemistryMolecular Life Sciences and Science and the Master's specialisations of Molecular Sciences. As our research has a strong interdisciplinary character, some of our projects are also suitable for students of Physics and Astronomy

During an internship you become a member of a research team. Explore all internships with detailed project description. 

Vacancies

Facility

The instruments of the Magnetic Resonance Research Center are made available as a facility. The Goudsmit pavilion houses state-of-the-art liquid-state and solid-state NMR spectrometers up to 950 MHz. These are equipped with a host of probes including cryoprobes, micro-imaging, multinuclear ultrafast MAS, Variable Temperature, Dynamic Nuclear Polarization, optical and electrochemical operando probes.
