Efter flera års arbete har Kirik och hans samarbetspartners lyckats ta fram ett helt nytt instrument som ”hyperpolariserar” molekyler och därmed gör dem möjliga att spåra med magnetresonansavbildning (MRI). Det nya instrumentet är det enda i sitt slag i Norden och tekniken öppnar upp en helt ny värld av möjligheter för att i detalj studera hur nervceller fungerar. Projektet har möjliggjorts genom
