By participating\, you are agreeing to abide by our Code of Conduct.\n\n \nKeynote speaker\n\n\n\nYasser Iturria-Medina\n\nMultiscale Brain Models for Understanding Disease Mechanisms and Treatment Needs in Neurology\n\nY asser Iturria-Medina is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurol ogy and Neurosurgery. He is also an associate member of the Ludmer Centre for Neuroinformatics and Mental Health and the McConnell Brain Imaging Cen tre.\n\nTrainee Speakers\n\nRefilwe Mpai\n\n\n\nA characterization of peri neuronal nets in the human cerebellum: are these structures impacted by ch ild abuse?\n\nRefilwe is a current MSc student in Neuroscience where she e xamines perineuronal nets\, their role in neuroplasticity\, and how they m ay be implicated in depression and child abuse. She is particularly intere sted in the long-lasting effects of childhood adversity on the brain. She holds a BA in Psychology from 51³Ô¹ÏÍø. Outside of research\, Ref ilwe is a podcast host on Journey Abroad\, a show highlighting Africans st udying and living abroad.\n\nQuadri Adewale\n\n\n\nMultiscale interactions between neuroimaging signals and gene expression in aging and Alzheimer’s disease\n\nQuadri holds a BSc in electrical and electronic engineering fr om the university of Ibadan\, Nigeria. He obtained his master’s degree in advanced control and systems engineering from the University of Sheffield\ , UK where he developed a brain-computer interface for monitoring workload levels in safety-critical environments. He is currently in his fourth yea r (starting from 2022) of PhD in neuroscience. He is interested in applyin g mathematical models and control engineering principles to combine multis cale brain modalities to study neurodegenerative diseases.\n DTSTART:20220225T103000Z DTEND:20220225T120000Z SUMMARY:HBHL Trainee Get-Together: February 2022 URL:/hbhl/channels/event/hbhl-trainee-get-together-feb ruary-2022-337541 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
