Place:  de Grandpre Communications Centre
------------------------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues:

The Killam speaker this week will be Dr. Matthias Koepp, MD PhD.

Matthias J. Koepp is Professor of Neurology at the Institute of Neurology, University College London, and Consultant Neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.

Professor Koepp's research focuses on structural and functional brain imaging of epilepsy using MRI and PET. His work on pharmacological PET imaging are among the most important in the field of epilepsy.

He has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed papers. His most recent publications relate to in vivo imaging of brain connectivity.

Professor Koepp is a clinician-scientist and distinguished teacher whose dedication to research has led to important observations and novel views about functional aspects and metabolic biomarkers of epilepsy. His work, at the forefront of brain imaging, is imaginative and provides new insights into the neurobiology of epilepsy.

I hope you will join us for his seminar entitled: "Imaging Epilepsy Syndromes: Salmon Fishing in the Yemen MRI? "

Andrea Bernasconi
