From 1963 to 1985, he served as an associate professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he conducted research on the development of MRI. ? From 65438 to 0985, he was the director of the biomedical nuclear magnetic resonance laboratory of the University of Illinois. He shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with British scientist peter Mansfield for his breakthrough achievements in the field of magnetic resonance imaging technology. He died in Urbana, Illinois, USA on March 27th, 2007, at the age of 77.
Lauterpur 1929 was born in Sydney, Ohio, USA.
195 1 received the bachelor of science degree from case institute of technology.
1962 received a doctorate in chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh in Philadelphia.
From 1963 to 1984, Lauterpur was a professor of chemistry and radiology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. During this period, he devoted himself to the study of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and its application. Lauterpur also extended the application of magnetic resonance imaging technology to the fields of biochemistry and biophysics. When Lauterbird was doing research at Stony Brook University, the best MRI vibrator on campus at that time belonged to the Department of Chemistry. So he has to do experiments with it at night, and will carefully change the settings so that he can return it to the chemistry department when he leaves. ?
From 65438 to 0985, he was the director of the biomedical nuclear magnetic resonance laboratory of the University of Illinois. ?
In the early 1970s, Lauterpur added an uneven magnetic field to the main magnetic field, that is, introduced a gradient magnetic field to induce the radio waves of nuclear magnetic resonance point by point, and finally obtained a two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance image. For many years, the University of Illinois has always believed that Lauterpur has a good chance of winning the Nobel Prize. But Lauterpur himself was a little surprised by winning the prize. He told the media: "I heard all kinds of speculations, but the reality still surprised me."
