2nd Annual CBIS Symposium

“Imaging Inside Out: Biomedical Imaging from Atom to Adam”

April 22, 2010

Clark Center Auditorium
Stanford University

Keynote:

John Mazziotta, MD, PhD - UCLA

John Mazziotta, chair of the Department of Neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, is into brains. More specifically, how to use brain imagery to help understand, treat and hopefully heal disease. As a student at Georgetown, Dr. Mazziotta wanted to be an architect. But "then I met neuroscientists," he recalls, and his professional life's path was set. As director of UCLA's Brain Mapping Center and principal investigator of the International Consortium for Brain Mapping (ICBM), Mazziotta leads a team of researchers from six countries in creating the world's first comprehensive atlas of the structure and function of the normal adult human brain. His work is one reason UCLA has become the world's foremost center on brain imaging and mapping.

Faculty Lectures:

1st Annual CBIS Symposium

"Advancing science through multidisciplinary biomedical imaging"

August 31, 2009

Hewlett 201, 370 Serra Mall
Stanford University

Keynote:

"Connections" by Jeff Lichtman, MD, PhD - Harvard

Jeff Lichtman, MD, PhD, is a Professor in Harvard’s Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology and a member of the newly established Center for Brain Science. Dr. Lichtman’s research interests revolve around the question of how mammalian brains accommodate information based on their early experiences. He has focused on the dramatic rewiring of neural connections that takes place in early postnatal development. This work has required development of techniques to visualize the patterns of connections in the nervous system and how they are altered over time. 

Faculty Lectures:

"Role of Imaging Stem Cells in Regenerative Medicine" by Helen Blau, PhD - Stanford

Non-invasive imaging allows real-time quantitative and kinetic analyses of stem cell function in mouse and man.

"Miniaturized Microscopes" by Chris Contag, PhD - Stanford

New microscope technologies enabling microscopic detection of cancer in patients and new molecular probes will enable detection of early lesions and development of multiplexed in vivo assays.

"Beyond visualization and quantitation: Content-based Retrieval for Radiological Decision Support" by Sandy Napel, PhD - Stanford

The utility and methods for content-based retrieval of images with similarly appearing lesions will be presented including preliminary results with CT scans of the liver.

 

Additional Information: 

In addition to our Keynote speakers, a committee of Stanford post-docs organized abstracts and poster presentations on various biomedical imaging advances, providing a great opportunity for students and postdocs to exchange their research experience and build new connections in applying imaging techniques to future research. Prizes were given for Best Poster and Best Presentation, as judged by Dr. Lichtman and the CBIS Advisory Board. 

Winners: 

Best Presentation: Jonathan Liu, Postdoc, Pediatrics: “Molecular Image-guided brain tumor resection with Miniature Optical-sectioning Microscopy” 

Best Poster: Lena Kaye, grad student, EE: “Tissue Displacement Mapping with MR-ARFI”
