Brain Canada Neuroimaging Platform Mini-Symposium - REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
by Kae Normandeau 19 Sep '16

19 Sep '16

We invite you to join us to learn about the neuroimaging capabilities in Manitoba and if they could be of use to you at the upcoming Brain Canada Manitoba Neuroimaging Platform Mini-Symposium, with Keynote Speaker Dr. Ravi Menon. Title: Neuroimaging approaches in research: Role of the Manitoba Neuroimaging Platform for experimental design and analysis. Date: October 14th, 2016 Time: 1-5pm Location: Apotex Centre, Room 071 (750 McDermot Avenue) Keynote Speaker: Dr. Ravi Menon, Canada Research Chair in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Biosketch: Dr. Ravi Menon is Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Professor of Medical Biophysics, Medical Imaging, Physics and Psychiatry at the University of Western Ontario, where he is also a member of the Graduate Program in Neuroscience and the Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering and Director of Western's Centre for Functional and Metabolic Mapping. He holds a Ph.D. in Medicine from the University of Alberta (1990), a M.Sc.(A) in Medical Physics from McGill University and a B.Sc. (Hons) in Physics from the University of British Columbia. He did his postdoctoral work in the world-renowned laboratory of Dr. Kamil Ugurbil at the University of Minnesota. He serves on numerous advisory boards, including 7 years on the Canada Gairdner Foundation and recently completed a term on the Science Advisory Council of the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research. He served for 7 years (the last 4 as Chair) on the Institute Advisory Board of the Institute for Neuroscience, Mental Health and Addiction of the CIHR. He is also one of Canada's two scientific advisory board members on the International Traumatic Brain Injury Research EU-NIH-CIHR consortium. He has held grants from a broad spectrum of agencies; CIHR, NSERC, NIH, McDonnell-Pew, Human Frontiers, ORDCF, CFI, OIT, ORF and an Ontario-NCE. He was in the first round of recipients of a Premiers Research Excellence Awrd, a Canada Research Chair and an Ontario Distinguished Researcher Award. He received a CIHR Foundation Award in 2016. His publication record in top-tier journals also reflects this broad scope, from fundamental imaging mechanism papers in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, to neuroscience papers in Science, Nature Neuroscience, Neuron and Current Biology or invited reviews in Trends and Current Opinion in Neurobiology.

cid:image001.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00 /On behalf of Eftekhar Eftekharpour Dear Colleagues, I am writing to request nomination for our 2016-2017 MNN invited speaker series. Over the last few years, the MNN has actively invited more than 30 national and international distinguished speakers to come to Winnipeg and interact with our scientific community. This has been achieved through a close interaction between the MNN, Kleysen Neuroscience group and the Saint Boniface Hospital. This has been a real opportunity for our Neuroscientists to interact with the speakers and establish successful collaborative projects. Many of these speakers visited our city for the first time and were quite impressed with the quality, quantity and the depth of neuroscience research at U of M. I am writing to request your help in inviting world class scientists for this year. I would like to extent this invitation to all aspects of Neuroscience research and therefore would need your input. Please send me name, email, and a line or two for the impact they have had in your field of interest. Looking forward to your emails.

2017 MNN Meeting Chair
by networking＠manitobaneuroscience.ca 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Dear Neuroscientists, The success of MNN outreach and networking activities depends on dedicated volunteers for each event. We are currently looking for a faculty volunteer to chair the 2017 annual MNN scientific meeting. Most logistical meeting planning can be handled by others, leaving the chair to focus on developing a rich program for faculty, trainees and professions, as he or she sees fit. If you are interested in being the 2017 meeting chair, please reply to this email. As always, thank you for supporting the Manitoba Neuroscience Network. Chris Anderson MNN President ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>

cid:image001.jpg@01D158FE.B69B8D00 /On behalf of Eftekhar Eftekharpour Dear Colleagues, As a follow up to my last email (see below), I would like to sincerely thanks those that volunteered to participate. I still have the following dates available and I am hoping you can help me fill these out quickly. Oct 28, Feb 24,. Regards Eftekhar Dear Neuroscientists, Over the last few years, the Manitoba Neuroscience Network and their Clinicians counterparts have held monthly joint meetings and the basic scientists have showcased the basic science for their clinician colleagues. This has been eagerly received by the clinicians and has provided an opportunity for the basic scientists to discuss their research with a clinical audience. This year, I am writing cordially to you all to see if you may want to share your science with the rest of us. These monthly talks are held last Friday of the month (9:00-10:00am) in Rm PX236/238, Psych Health Bldg., Bannatyne Campus. ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> cid:image003.jpg@01D159B3.9F0B9710 <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>
