Arne Vandenbroucke, PhD, postdoctoral scholar in the Molecular Imaging Instrumentation Laboratory (MIIL), received the Henri Benedictus Fellowship from the Belgian American Educational Foundation (BAEF) and the King Baudouin Foundation. The BAEF promotes the exchange of scientists and students between the US and Belgium. The Henri Benedictus Fellowship is awarded to scientists whose research is in the field of biomedical engineering. Dr. Vandenbroucke is working on the design of a high sensitivity, high resolution PET scanner for breast cancer imaging; the fellowship will allow him to continue this work. He was selected for the Henri Benedictus fellowship after he defended his research in front of 15 scientists in Brussels, Belgium, in January of 2008.
