IBRO-USCRC Canadian School of Neuroscience: Development, Plasticity, and Repair of Neural Circuits Montreal, Canada
samedi, 31 décembre 2016 12:59 Written by Ouzir
Aims and Scope of the School May 11 - June 1, 2017:
This IBRO Neuroscience School Program offers an advanced neuroscience course for young investigators from Africa and Latin America. This School focusses on the development, plasticity, and repair of neural circuits. This opportunity is made possible by the support of the IBRO North American Regional Committee and several Canadian institutions. The School is intended for 12-14 promising young trainees who have clear leadership potential in the scientific community of their home countries. A unique feature of the School is that students attend and present a poster of their work at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience’s annual meeting, a meeting that brings together over 1000 researchers, mostly from across Canada and the United States Educational Objectives: • To deepen participants’ understanding of mechanisms related to development, plasticity, and repair of neural circuits. • To acquaint the participants with a variety of experimental approaches and analytical tools. • To foster long-lasting links with Canadian neuroscientists. • To forge new contacts between investigators in Canada, Africa, and Latin America.
Description:
The focus of this School is on the development and plasticity of neural circuits, and on mechanisms to repair circuits that are damaged or that develop abnormally. Students are taught through a series of interactive sessions, hands-on labs, and, and visits to various state-of-the art laboratories. The Faculty consists of prominent neuroscientists at McGill University, Montreal Neurological Institute, and the Université de Montréal. The school coordinators are Drs. Melissa Vollrath and David Ragsdale.
In this school, students will participate in interactive seminars and lab sessions covering a wide range of topics, including: i) Axonal guidance and signals that regulate axon regeneration; ii) Neuronal diversification of astrocytes, and astrocyte growth; iii) Degeneration and repair of the retina; iv) Structural plasticity; v) Neural map formation and sensory coding in the olfactory system and the visual system; vi) Computation models of synaptic integration on dendrites; vii) Use of model organisms (zebrafish, xenopus, C. elegans, drosophila) to investigate the development of neural circuits, as well as neurodegenerative diseases; viii) Crispr/Cas9 and gene editing techniques.
In addition to these interactive sessions, demonstrations, and special lectures, students will have the opportunity to conduct a short-term research project on a topic relevant to their own research.
Who should apply to this School?
Students will be chosen in consultation with IBRO’s regional committees. The specific criteria include: academic achievements and leadership potential, publications, letters of reference, and in particular, a statement of how attending this School will benefit the applicant’s research career and their research environment. Students selected to attend the School will have their travel and living expenses (housing and meals) covered by the School, as well as registration to the Canadian Association for Neuroscience Annual meeting. Visas and other immigration arrangements are the responsibility of each student.
What costs will be covered for selected applicants?
Return airfare (home - Montreal and back), local lodging and meals, local transportation
Application deadline: January 15, 2017 (11:59 p.m. CET)

IBRO-ARC School on Neurogenetics from Animal Models to Precision Medicine Cairo, Egypt
samedi, 31 décembre 2016 12:56 Written by Ouzir
Aims and Scope of the School May 1 - 4, 2017:
The week-long advanced neuroscience school foresees an intensive day-to-day and face-to-face interactive program on research design and methodologies in neurogenetics, recent advances on genetics of neurological diseases and conditions of the nervous system as well as on translation and implementation strategies for clinical and public health benefits in the African context.
Description:
IBRO/ARC, 2017 school has a main theme of neurogenetics. We believe that the advent of novel genetic analysis techniques e.g. NGS, CRISPR Cas gene editing will revolutionize the way we look to genetic basis of neurological disorders, gene therapies and animal modeling of diseases. Through inviting different international speakers who are experts in the field and supporting the travel and accommodation of students from all Africa, we plan to offer a unique opportunity for Exchange of knowledge and ideas between scientists and students. This will help in transfering knowledge and créating a cultural and scientific dialogue in an emerging field of neuroscience.
Organizer: Dr. Wael Mohamed (Menoufia Medical School, Egypt) and Dr. Mohamed Salama (Mansura Medical School, Egypt).
Who should apply to this School?
- Students at the end of PhD degree and post doc as well as young neurologists.
- Maximum age limit is 35 years.
- Residents of African continent are only accepted
- Only selected candidates will be notified
