Dr. Hassan Marzban
<http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/medicine/units/anatomy/marzbanhassan.html
>
Assistant Professor, Department of Human Anatomy & Cell
Science, College of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences
University of Manitoba
Topic: Cerebellar Development In Health and Disease;
the role of lysosomal acid phosphatase 2 (Acp2)
Brief Biosketch: Dr. Marzban received his BSc in Physiotherapy from the
Iran University of Medical Sciences, followed by an MSc in Human Anatomy
from Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. He then completed his PhD
in Anatomical Sciences from the Department of Human Anatomy, Tehran
University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Prior to joining the
University of Manitoba, Dr. Marzban was recruited as an assistant
professor in the Medical School at the Tehran University of Medical
Sciences. He joined Dr. R. Hawkes' laboratory as visiting scientist and
subsequently he was recruited as an assistant professor (research) at
the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, University of Calgary. Dr.
Marzban's research interests are to understand cellular and molecular
mechanisms involved in cerebellar development, with a focus on
neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Mouse
models with mutations in genes, such as ACP2 and SNCA, are used in his
research. Dr. Marzban's research interests are focused on cerebellar
development and understanding the cellular and molecular mechanism of
the cerebellar neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative
diseases. His research involves the cerebellum as a model system for
studying the normal and abnormal development of the nervous system. Dr.
Marzban believes that the temporal and spatial dynamics of cerebellar
development are exquisitely controlled and as a model, this structure
combines the simplicity
of spinal cord development with the complexity of cerebral cortical
formation. Mouse models with a spontaneous mutation in the Acp2
(lysosomal acid phosphatase 2) gene cause a neurodevelopmental disorder
called naked-ataxic (nax). Dr. Marzban's group investigates the
developmental roles of Acp2, SNCA, P75, autophagy and caspase signaling
molecules in the cerebellum. His research program aims to understand the
specific molecular mechanisms underlying cerebellar neurodevelopmental
disorders
and neurodegeneration to provide a foundation for development of
therapeutic treatment targets and, ultimately, prevention of nervous
system diseases.

BRAIN AWARENESS WEEK is March 16-20 and the Winnipeg Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience is excited to be very active this year. Dr. Sari Hannila is the Director of Outreach and she is busy organizing several events with outstanding potential.
Events during this week include:
* Cafe Scientifique on concussion
* Visit and public lecture by Canada Excellence Research Chair, Dr. Matthew Farrer
* Brain Bee for Manitoba students
* Laboratory tours for students and public
These events require volunteers to help with tasks such as:
* Brain Bee question design and judging (Faculty needed)
* Greeters and guides for registration and helping students/families find their way (Anyone suitable for this)
* Laboratory tours and demonstrations (Anyone with PI approval)
* Miscellaneous tasks (Anyone)
Please consider helping out where you can to make these events successful. PI's please chat with your staff and trainees about helping. Then, let Sari Hannila know about your willingness to participate at sari.hannila(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:sari.hannila@umanitoba.ca> ASAP.
THANKS!

Dr. Gerald Zamponi
Senior Associate Dean for Research
Cumming School of Medicine
University of Calgary
Topic: Voltage gated calcium channels as therapeutic targets for pain.
Location: Theatre C, Bannatyne Campus (Reception to follow in Canad Inns - Ambassador Room A)
Brief Biosketch:
Dr. Gerald Zamponi is an internationally recognized expert on the biophysics, molecular biology, modulation, and pharmacology of ion channels and their role in nervous system function. His research focuses on exploring how these channels contribute to neurological disorders such as chronic pain. His goal is to develop strategies to regulate ion channel function for therapeutic intervention. Dr. Zamponi's scientific work has garnered dozens of national and international awards. He has also authored more than 215 papers in top tier scientific journals and has been invited to present at almost 200 scientific conferences around the world. In addition, his research on ion channel therapeutics has resulted in numerous patents.Dr. Zamponi served as Head of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology and is currently the Senior Associate Dean for research at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary. In addition to being an AI-HS Scientist, he is the Canada Research Chair in Molecular Neurobiology and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
