She then went on to complete a PhD in Radiation Physics at University College London in 2008, developing novel instrumentation for identification of cancer in breast biopsy samples using X-ray diffraction methods.
[4][5] Following completion of her PhD, Bohndiek moved to the University of Cambridge where she worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Biochemistry, supervised by Prof. Kevin Brindle.
[5] Her research during this period focused on the use of novel magnetic resonance imaging methods for the early detection of treatment response in cancer.
[5] In October 2013, Bohndiek returned to the University of Cambridge as a fellow of Corpus Christi College, working as a lecturer at the Cavendish Laboratory.
[19] She received this award for her work in developing molecular imaging techniques, which can be applied to study the response of tissue to different cancer treatments.
