Alexandra Gersing, MD
Assoc. Professor In Residence
Biography
Dr. Gersing earned her medical degree in 2011 after studying at the University of Hamburg and the Technical University of Munich (TUM). She completed a radiology residency (2019), followed by a musculoskeletal imaging fellowship (2020), both at the University Hospital of the TUM. She was a postdoctoral research fellow in musculoskeletal imaging at UCSF from 2014 to 2016. Dr. Gersing has been a professor of radiology and Director of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and AI Research at the University Hospital of Munich and the Ludwig Maximilians University Munich.
Dr. Gersing leads multidisciplinary teams applying MR imaging in patient care and research projects focusing on musculoskeletal imaging and AI. Her research is published in top journals such as Radiology, Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, American Journal of Sports Medicine, and European Radiology. In 2023, she was awarded the Wilhelm-Conrad-Roentgen Prize from the German Society of Radiology and the Seed Grant of the International Skeletal Society. She is a member of the editorial board of several journals (e.g. European Journal of Radiology).
As an educator, Dr. Gersing mentors doctoral candidates, postdoctoral scholars, residents, and junior faculty. She has been an invited lecturer at several top-rated societies and institutions and serves as an elected executive committee member at the European Society of Skeletal Radiology and the German Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology
