- - Category : Neuroscience
- Neuroscience Seminar Series
Dr. Boris Barbour began his scientific career in the lab of David Attwell at University College London. His PhD studies aimed at characterizing the biophysical properties of glutamate transporters in salamander retinal glial cells and led to the novel finding that glutamate transporters can enhance ？？？ rather than reduce ？？？ the extracellular concentration of glutamate under ionic conditions similar to those observed during stroke and brain anoxia. He moved to France for a postdoctoral term with Philippe Ascher, and was soon granted an independent position at Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris. With his unique blend of mathematical and electrophysiological approaches, Dr. Barbour provided some of the most insightful quantitative descriptions of glutamate spillover in the brain. These studies remain, to date, a hallmark reference for understanding the extent to which synaptic specificity is preserved or disrupted in different brain areas. Later on, Dr. Barbour became the head of the cerebellum group and the chairman of the neuroscience section at Ecole Normale, while his interests veered towards defining the network mechanisms that underlie the temporal organization of synaptic activity in the cerebellum. In his talk on Feb 14th, Dr. Barbour will share his thoughts on non-synaptic transmission and on its role on network activity, glial tropism and synaptic plasticity.

- Careers in Science Policy
-
- - Lori Conlan, PhD (2011/02/20)
- - Category : Career Development/OITE
- Do you have a passion to use your scientific work, knowledge, and experience to serve the greater community? Do you understand how science can influence policy to determine funding and develop new programs and regulations? Have you considered the wide range of policy decisions that depend on solid scientific knowledge? With the increasing need to engage the public with science and technology, many fellows have been asking, "How do I get a job in science policy?" In this session, we will talk about job sectors that involve science policy, the skills needed for the jobs, and how to prepare yourself for these positions.

- - Mick Bhatia, PhD, Director and Senior Scientist, McMaster Stem Cell and Cancer Research Institute (SCC-RI) (2011/02/18)
- - Category : NCRM Interview Lectures
- NCRM and NIH Stem Cell Interest Group lecture
Dr. Bhatia is a recognized leader in Canada in the field of human hematopoietic stem cell biology and pluripotent stem cells (both embryonic and reprogrammed adult forms). Dr. Bhatia has made several important advancements in human stem cell research, particularly related to blood forming stem cells. Although stem cells can serve as sources for cellular and organ replacement in tissue damaged by trauma or genetic influences, and for disease intervention, programs focus on human cancer and using human stem cells to understand how cancer begins and how treatment may be revolutionized based on this new knowledge. Dr. Bhatia？？？s research program sets out to understand the molecular mechanisms which orchestrate somatic and pluripotent human stem cell development, and how adult differentiated cells such as skin can be reset-reprogrammed to acquire other stem cell fates. His laboratory can be subdivided into two themes of interest; A) Human Pluripotent- and B) Hematopoietic- Stem Cells. Although each is unique, there is complementary overlap to allow for an enhanced understanding of the overall nature of novel human stem cell populations and the basis of human cell fate decisions and cellular programming, and how these may relate to rare cancer initiating cells in the human.

- 2011 David E. Barmes Global Health Lecture
Fogarty International Center and the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research invite you to the David E. Barmes Global Health Lecture:Addressing Grand Challenges:The Role of Science in Global Health Development. Please join us for this timely and relevant talk by Dr. Rajiv Shah, Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID. This agency has provided economic and humanitarian assistance worldwide for nearly 50 years.
USAID recently unveiled a new approach that will support President Obama？？？s vision for high-impact global development, announced by the White House in September. This new approach will be focusing on:- Recommitting to the Millennium Development Goals by building sustainable governance and delivery systems to support healthy and productive lives
- Investing in country-owned models of inclusive growth and development in a focused set of countries that are well-governed, economically stable, globally connected and market-oriented
- Developing and delivering scientific and technological breakthroughs
Prior to being appointed USAID Administrator, Dr. Shah served as Under Secretary for Research, Education and Economics and chief scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he was responsible for safe, sustainable, competitive U.S. food and fiber system, as well as strong communities, families, and youth through integrated research, analysis, and education. Previously, Shah served as director of agricultural development at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In his seven years with the Gates Foundation, he served as its director of strategic opportunities and as deputy director of policy and finance for the global health program. In these roles, he helped develop and launch the foundations global development program and helped create both the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa and the International Finance Facility for Immunization - an effort that raised more than $5 billion for child immunization.Shah also is co-founder of Health Systems Analytics and Project IMPACT for South Asian Americans.
In addition, he has served as a policy aide in the British Parliament and worked at the World Health Organization.Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Shah earned his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania and his master？？？s in health economics at the Wharton School of Business. He has attended the London School of Economics, is a graduate of the University of Michigan, and has published articles on health policy and global development.
