May 7th, at 1 pm Location: Room 333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt, 3775 University Street). Speaker: Prof. Allen Ehrlicher PhD, Department of Bioengineering, McGill University Dr. Ehrlicher is candidate for associate membership in Biomedical Engineering department, so attendance from our staff members and their students is highly encouraged. Title: "Force Spectrum Microscopy Reveals Active Diffusive-like Behavior in Living Cells" Abstract: Passive soft materials, even complex ones, display mechanics which can be largely understood in terms of temperature. It is tempting to apply these concepts to biology, however, biological systems are far from equilibrium. Indeed, biological systems are unique among materials in that they not only produce active forces, but they also dynamically change their mechanical properties; both of these are essential aspects of animal life, and they function together to create surprising properties. In this talk, I will discuss how active processes can produce random "diffusive-like" transport in the cytoplasm of living cells. Using a combination of particle tracking and active microrheology, we quantitatively determine the contribution of active ATP driven-processes, and show that these dominate random transport activity on time-scales greater than about 1 second. This methodology also provides the first measurements of the complete internal force-spectrum in living cells.

Dr. Rouleau accepted the award today at a ceremony at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City. TRIBUTE VIDEO: http://bit.ly/1np0tJH The Prix d?excellence du Coll?ge des m?decins du Qu?bec is presented annually to a doctor who has to their credit outstanding achievements that make a difference in the lives of patients, health professionals or students, and who has made an extraordinary contribution to the development of their profession. Dr. Rouleau is a pioneering clinician-scientist who has dedicated his career to advancing research and clinical care for neurological patients and training the next generation of neuroscientists. His landmark achievements include the identification of over 20 disease-causing genes and his discovery of new mutational mechanisms. Over the last 25 years, Dr. Rouleau and his team have focused on identifying genes causing neurological and psychiatric diseases, including autism, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, hereditary neuropathies, stroke, epilepsy and schizophrenia, as well as on providing a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms that lead to these disease symptoms.

These lectures are named in honour of Dr. William Feindel (1918-2014), former Director of the Neuro (1972 -1984) and Founding Director of the BIC (1984?88). Dr. Feindel's presence and contribution will be greatly missed at our weekly Brain Imaging Lectures , where he almost always asked the final, most-germane question of the day: one that usually bridged the clinical and research realms, and that brought together the past, the present, and the future of brain science. This semester, our Lecture Series is being held in conjunction with the BIC's new Open Methods Meetups (*OMM*): a forum for discussing hands-on technical issues, brainstorming problem-solving for specific projects, and sharing personal tricks-of-the-trade. This will be a great venue for those associated with the BIC to transfer knowledge and to get to know one another. Please join us for our next Feindel Brain Imaging Lecture, which will be held in The Neuro's de Grandpr? Communications Centre (3801 University Street, Montreal, QC, H3A 2B4) on *Monday,** May the 26th, starting at 1:00 pm*. Cheers!

These lectures are named in honour of Dr. William Feindel (1918-2014), former Director of the Neuro (1972 -1984) and Founding Director of the BIC (1984?88). Dr. Feindel's presence and contribution will be greatly missed at our weekly Brain Imaging Lectures , where he almost always asked the final, most-germane question of the day: one that usually bridged the clinical and research realms, and that brought together the past, the present, and the future of brain science. This semester, our Lecture Series is being held in conjunction with the BIC's new Open Methods Meetups (*OMM*): a forum for discussing hands-on technical issues, brainstorming problem-solving for specific projects, and sharing personal tricks-of-the-trade. This will be a great venue for those associated with the BIC to transfer knowledge and to get to know one another. Cheers!

The BIC Coffee Fund Award is supported by proceeds from the communal coffee machine. This year's awardees were chosen by audience vote after giving 6-minute presentations on their research. Lucky for the winners, coffee habits among BIC members run deep - let's keep that caffeine addiction going strong for next year's competition! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
