[BIC-announce] Pathways and Connections: Dr. Thien Thanh Dang-Vu (Wed-March-5th at 5:30 pm; Montreal Neurological Institute, room 124)

 *Pathways and Connections*<http://www.mcgill.ca/ipn/continuing/events/pathways>

*How does one become a successful neuroscientist?*  This informal
discussion series will try to answer this question through a series of
conversations with some of the most successful neuroscientists in the
world: researchers who are affiliated with McGill
University<http://www.mcgill.ca/>'s
Integrated Program in Neuroscience <http://www.mcgill.ca/ipn/>.   This will
be your chance to talk to them about the circuitous pathways and the
important, but often serendipitous, connections that led them to where they
are now.

*The next session of the Pathways and Connections
<http://www.mcgill.ca/ipn/continuing/events/pathways/> Discussion Series
will feature *Dr. Thien Thanh
Dang-Vu<http://csbn.concordia.ca/Faculty/Dang-Vu/>* starting
at 5:30 pm on Wednesday, March 5th, in room 124 of the Montreal
Neurological Institute (3801 University Street
<http://www.mni.mcgill.ca/patients/maps/>).*


*Wednesday, March 5, 2014, 5:30 pm, Neuro 124:  *Dr. Thien Thanh
Dang-Vu<http://csbn.concordia.ca/Faculty/Dang-Vu/>is an Assistant
Professor of Clinical Imaging in Concordia's Department of
Exercise Science, and currently a CIHR New Investigator and an FRQS
Research Scholar.  He is also an attending neurologist and a researcher at
the Institut Universitaire de Gériatrie de Montréal, affiliated with the
University of Montreal.  Dr. Dang-Vu earned his M.D. at the Université de
Liège, in Belgium. He completed his residency in Neurology and a Ph.D. in
Biomedical Science in the same university. Dr. Dang-Vu did a post-doctoral
fellowship in the department of Neurology at the Massachusetts General
Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston. He then completed a second
postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Advanced Research in Sleep
Medicine at the Université de Montreal and Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de
Montréal, where he was awarded a Banting postdoctoral fellowship from the
Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Dr. Dang-Vu won several research
awards, notably from the Sleep Research Society, the European Sleep
Research Society, the Belgian Association for Sleep Research and Sleep
Medicine, and the Belgian Neurological Society. He joined Concordia and the
Center for Studies in Behavioral Neurobiology in 2012, as an Assistant
Professor, and also holds a position of Associate Researcher at the Hôpital
du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal.  His research interests are focused on the
interface between neuroimaging, sleep, and neurology, in order to
investigate the neural correlates of spontaneous brain activity and
consciousness, the role of sleep in brain plasticity, the pathophysiology
of sleep disorders, and the clinical biomarkers of neurological disease
progression.
