Communications Centre, MNI "Quantitative Imaging of Tissue Microstructure Using Ultra-High Field MRI: Applications in Animal Models and Human Neurological Diseases" David Rudko, PhD Postdoctoral Research Fellow Brain Imaging Centre Montreal Neurological Hospital and Institute, McGill University Biography David Rudko is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at the Montreal Neurological Institute. He completed his PhD in Physics with a specialization in ultra-high field MRI under the supervision of Dr. Ravi Menon at the University of Western Ontario. The overall focus of his research is the application of novel high field MRI methodology in conjunction with biophysical modeling to augment the current understanding of brain anatomy and physiology. One of his specific goals is to extend magnetic susceptibility and relaxometry-based MRI models of brain tissue microstructure to develop atlases applicable in neurological disease. He has applied MRI physics techniques to research in animal models and human neurological diseases at field strengths of 3 T, 7 T and 9.4 T. His current postdoctoral work centres on the quantification of cortical demyelination in MS patients using surface-based 3 T magnetization transfer imaging combined with ultra-high resolution 7 T structural imaging. *Dr. Rudko is a candidate for a faculty position. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

When: Tuesday, May 24th, 1:00-2:00pm Where: Grandpr? Communications Centre, MNI The Data Blitz is back! We are looking for BIC students and post-docs to showcase their research and practice their presentation skills in preparation for summer conferences-- and perhaps to earn a little cash for said conferences. The presentations will occur during the weekly Feindel Lecture. The two best presenters in this competition will receive a BIC Coffee Fund Travel Award, thanks to everyone at the MNI who has availed themselves of the coffee machine this year. We will be awarding the two best presenters a sum of $500 each. Even if you aren't presenting, you'll still have a part to play: winners are determined by vote from the audience, so mark your calendars! In-progress and preliminary research is welcome. Please ask us if you are in doubt about your eligibility. If you are interested in presenting, please contact us no later than one week before the competition date. Am I eligible? This competition is open to Students or Post-Docs who: 1) will present research involving brain imaging data collected/methods developed at the BIC at a conference* in 2016. 2) are not previous recipients of the BIC Travel Award. How can I present? Email anastasia.sares at mail.mcgill.ca or benjamin.gold at mail.mcgill.ca with your name, status (PhD/Master/Post-Doc), supervisors(s) and presentation title. The duration of the presentations will depend on how many presenters volunteer, but will be less than 15 minutes. *Winners must show proof of conference attendance in order to claim their prizes. While multiple members of a lab may compete, there will be only one winner per lab. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

From 1993-2000 he was at Pharmacia as Director for structure based drug design and oncology R&D portfolio management. Between 2001 and 2003 he held senior positions at the Swedish Biotechs Actar and Biovitrum. In 2003 he joined the Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) at the University of Oxford, as Chief Scientist. In 2007 he assumed the position as Managing Director for the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (Copenhagen). From end of 2011, we was VP Discovery Research at Karolinska Development. He then re-joined the SGC and is since mid-2014 Scientific Director for European Initiatives, leading an IMI consortium focused on target validation in inflammatory diseases. Abstract The number of first in class therapies has remained constant for decades, often less than 10 per year. For such new medicines for pioneer targets, the level of attrition in Phase 2 proof-of-concept clinical studies remains the biggest hurdle. This is in large part due to the poor correlation of results from commonly used model systems compared to the the clinical realities. Thus, the use of disease models based on human samples is critical to increase our understanding of pathophysiology. However, securing regular access to well-annotated samples from patients is challenging to organize, raises ethical issues and requires new organizational models, involving academic and pharmaceutical industry researchers, clinicians and disease foundations. Within the SGC Open-Source Target Discovery Partnership, our aim is to define and validate under- explored protein targets by profiling high quality chemical and antibody probes in patient-cell derived assays in inflammation, oncology and CNS disorders, providing biomarker and phenotypic read-outs from test systems that more accurately mimic the disease itself.
