Dr. Isom's main research focuses on the auxiliary beta subunits of the voltage-gated sodium channel. Beta subunits are cell adhesion molecules that interact with numerous intracellular and extracellular proteins. They play roles in sodium channel expression, localization and function and are involved in the formation of nodes of Ranvier. Abnormal beta subunit expression or function may contribute to epilepsy and neuropathic pain. The title of her talk is: "Sodium channel ? subunits: channel modulators and cell adhesion molecules". I am looking forward to seeing you all there. Dave Ragsdale, Ph.D. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Could you please pass this on to the BIC mailing list? Hope everything is fine in MTL.. Cheers, pierre --------------------- Post-doctoral position - Image-guided neurosurgery - INRIA Deadline: 31 March 2007 Email: Pierre.Hellier at irisa.fr, Pierre.Jannin at irisa.fr http://www.irisa.fr/visages/positions-eng.html http://www.irisa.fr/visages/documents/IntraoperativeDeformation_postdoc. pdf Topic: Coupling surface-based and volume-based approaches to quantify intraoperative brain deformations. This postdoctoral position deals with the detection and correction of intraoperative brain deformations. Image guided neurosurgery systems (IGNS) enable to merge the preoperative images with the operating field, under the hypothesis of a rigid transformation. Unfortunately, the brain deforms non-rigidly during surgery and this limits drastically the applicability of such IGNS systems. Image-guided neurosurgery should overcome this pitfall, hopefully leading to reduced morbidity and mortality for the patients. The visages team is developing two approaches to correct for brain shift. The first one is surface-based, relying on a 3D stereoscopic reconstruction of the surgical field and video analysis, given the images acquired with the microscope. The second one is volumetric and builds on non-rigid registration of 3D freehand ultrasound acquired during surgery. These two methods have different characteristics in terms of temporal update rate (the surface-based approach can be used continuously), dimensionality (2D versus 3D) and input features. They are therefore intrinsically complementary. The purpose of the postdoctoral position is to design a cooperative methodological framework to correct for brain deformations according to both methods. Such framework should investigate deeply the complementarities between the two approaches in terms of consistency and reliability. The work should also be concerned with the validation of the deformation estimation, given either sparse intraoperative measures as given by the IGNS pointer or postoperative images. Such validation will be useful to assess the respective contribution of the two approaches to the correction of brain deformations. This will be particularly relevant to determine which correction method should be used at a particular step of surgery. The work will be in close collaboration with the neurosurgery department at Rennes University Hospital, where experiments in the operating room will be conducted. 12 months contract, to be renewed for a year. The position should start during fall 2007. Salary: 2350 euros gross/month. The candidate should have a background in medical image analysis, non-rigid registration, intraoperative imaging and programming skills (C++). ----------------- Pierre Hellier IRISA - INRIA, Campus de Beaulieu 35 042 RENNES Cedex France tel : +33 (0)299.84.25.23, fax : +33 (0)299.84.71.71 http://www.irisa.fr/visages/team/Pierre.Hellier-eng.html -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At McGill University, Environmental Health & Safety and Student Health Services are taking measures to promote effective handwashing in order to reduce disease transmission. Handwashing, when done correctly, is the most effective way to prevent the spread of infections such as the flu, cold or gastroenteritis. When should you wash your hands? - Before and after any contact with the public - After any accidental contamination or when your hands are soiled - After going to the bathroom - After handing garbage - After blowing your nose or sneezing into your hands - Before preparing, handling, serving or eating food - At the end of your workday What is good hand washing technique? There is more to hand washing than you think! - Moisten hands and wrists - Apply a generous portion of soap - Rub your hands together, making a soapy lather for at least 15 seconds. Do this away from the running water and be careful not to wash the lather away. Wash between your fingers, under your nails and wash both front and back of your hands - Rinse well under warm running water - Wipe and dry hands well with paper towel - Turn off water using paper towel Effective Handwashing Posters are available in both English & French Download poster from www.mcgill.ca/health/ Email your request to health.promotion at mcgill.ca Working for a healthier and safer community Management of Infectious Joint Advisory Health & Disease Advisory Committee Safety Committee Student Health Services Environmental Health & Safety www.mcgill.ca/health/ www.mcgill.ca/ehs health.promotion at mcgill.ca ehs at mcgill.ca From jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca Fri Mar 9 09:20:34 2007 From: jennifer.chew at mcgill.ca (Jennifer Chew, Ms.) Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 09:20:34 -0500 Subject: [BIC-announce] REMINDER- MONDAY'S BIC SEMINAR, MARCH 12, 2007 - Statistical analysis of functional imaging data Message-ID: ***REMINDER*** BIC SEMINAR SERIES MONDAY'S BIC SEMINAR Date: Monday, March 12 , 2007 Time: 1:00 P.M.

Laval Robert-Giffard. Dr De Koninck investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms used by neurons to decode synaptic and electrical activities that propagate through neural circuits. He is particularly interested in learning how these mechanisms contribute to synaptic remodeling and to the maintenance and modifications of brain circuit connectivity. The model that he studies is the Ca2+-calmodulin-dependent pathway at excitatory synapses in the hippocampus. His work is aimed primarily at learning how CaM kinase II decodes Ca2+ signals in neurons and modifies synaptic structures and function. Dr De Koninck uses dissociated cultures or brain slices and in vitro approaches aimed at deciphering the structure / function of CaM kinase II as a decoder of Ca2+ oscillations. Recent publications are listed below. Please join us for what promises to be a very interesting seminar. Ted ------------------------- Edward A.

The current 19 full-time faculty in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering conduct research in the following disciplines: bioinstrumentation; medical image and signal processing; cardiac mechanics, electrophysiology, and resuscitation; physiological modeling; assistive technology; neuroengineering; speech and auditory modeling; very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuit design; reliable logic circuit design and synthesis; on-chip measurements and testing; computer-based instrumentation; computer network security; high performance computer architectures; parallel and distributed computing; computer performance modeling and simulation; signal and image processing; detection and estimation theory; digital communications; control theory. The Department offers programs leading to the BS, MS, and PhD degrees. The interdisciplinary nature of our Department will provide the new faculty member with optional opportunities to also teach courses in electrical engineering or computer engineering. Collaborative, interdisciplinary research and teaching opportunities exist with faculty in the departments of Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Computer Science and Statistics, Biological Sciences, Cellular and Molecular Biology, and Kinesiology. The University of Rhode Island is a comprehensive doctoral research, Land Grant, Sea Grant and Urban Grant university. URI College of Engineering offers innovative undergraduate and graduate programs, stresses links between diverse fields of inquiry, and values outreach, scholarship, and laboratory-based learning. The University of Rhode Island is a medium-sized public university located near the southeastern end of the state and picturesque New England. The main campus is located in Kingston, an established, family-friendly, small community only five miles from the Narragansett Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
