J. Tim Marcus obtained Master degree's in Physics (1987) and
Medicine (1989) at the VU University in Amsterdam, and his
PhD at Utrecht University (1992).
His current educational tasks include the area of Physics and
Medical Technology. His research is focussed on cardiac and
pulmonary physics, on cardiac mechanical asynchrony, and on
right ventricular overload in pulmonary hypertension. He is
specialized in cardiovascular MRI. In 2008 he was appointed
as associate professor. He (co-) authored 91 international
peer-reviewed papers.
