[mnn2014_header_a]<http://www.sbrc.ca/mnn2014> REGISTRATION NOW OPEN Registration deadline: June 6th, 2014 Dear all: We are pleased to advise that the Manitoba Neuroscience Network's 5th Annual Scientific Meeting<http://www.sbrc.ca/mnn2014> is now OPEN for registration. The two-day retreat style meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 24th - Wednesday, June 25th, 2014 will be held at the Lakeview Resort & Conference Centre<http://www.lakeviewhotels.com/hotels/gimli/>, Gimli MB. Please note that the meeting is open to FACULTY only. The aim of the meeting is about providing a forum for new investigators, as well as about forging links between neuroscientists in Winnipeg. There will be a format that will encourage discussion between researchers from different pillars, with a plan to identify teams for future applications to CIHR. Another aim of the meeting is to inform the neuroscience community of future strategies and to give background on the role of the Kleysen Institute. One such example will be to generate discussion about the formation of a neuroscience graduate program. A preliminary program is available online.

25 Mar '14

Manitoba Neuroscience Network | Seminar Series Date: Friday, March 28th, 2014 Time: 9:00 am Location: PX236/238 PsychHealth Bldg. Dr. Tiina Kauppinen Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics Principle Investigator, Neuroscience Research Program Kleysen Institute for Advanced Medicine Health Sciences Centre and University of Manitoba Topic: Microglial modulation as a therapeutic approach in CNS disorders. Location: PX236/238 PsychHealth Bldg. Biosketch: Tiina M Kauppinen is an Assistant Professor and principle investigator at the University of Manitoba. She obtained her Ph.D. in Biotechnology and Molecular Brain Research in 2001 from the University of Kuopio, Finland. Her Ph.D. studies (published in her maiden name, Tikka) discovered the neuroprotective potential of minocycline, an antibiotic that has several anti-inflammatory functions unrelated to its anti-microbial mechanisms. Dr. Kauppinen did her postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco (2002-2006). After which she became an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology at University of California, San Francisco (2006-2012). Dr. Kauppinen joined the Faculty of Medicine, University of Manitoba July 2012. Her research focuses on the role of microglia and neuroinflammation in acute (ie- stroke) and chronic (ie- Alzheimer's disease) central nervous system disorders, and on the effects of chronic inflammation on fetal (ie- gestational diabetes) and infant (ie- poor diet) neurocognitive development. The overall goals of her research program are to 1) understand how microglial functions affect neurodegeneration, neurogenesis and neuronal functions, 2) establish approaches to modulate microglial responses, and 3) develop new therapeutic strategies with multiple disease relevance. Dr. Kauppinen received a prestigious Jordi Folch Pi award 2008 from American Society for Neurochemistry. Her research has been funded by grants from American Heart and Stroke and Alzheimer Society of Canada.
