- Ileana Jelescu receives ERC Starting GrantThe lab’s research so far was aimed at turning MRI into an in vivo microscope for brain ‘static’ microstructure. With this additional ERC grant (1.5M EUR for 5 years), Ileana plans to develop a different technique, FIREPATH, to capture ‘dynamic’ microstructure fluctuations resulting from brain activity. FIREPATH will fill the current gap of detecting activity also in…
- The team is growing!Quentin Uhl and Tommaso Pavan have joined the team as PhD students. We are excited to have them on board!
- ISMRM 2021 awardsAlexandre de Skowronski receives a Magna cum Laude award. Wiktor Olszowy receives a Magna cum Laude award and a prize for Best Methods Abstract by the Diffusion Study Group. Congratulations to them!
- Ileana Jelescu receives SNSF Eccellenza Professorial FellowshipThis is a very prestigious fellowship, aimed at jump-starting professor careers. Eccellenza supports them in achieving their goal by allowing them to lead a generously funded research project as an assistant professor at a Swiss higher education institution. Ileana Jelescu will be hosted by UNIL/CHUV to carry out her proposed research, In vivo microstructure mapping…

For PhD students it’s a good idea to gamble on new PIs, on average they are more into it. I often see that the first graduate students that join a lab end up being really successful.
Today, the @hnp_geneva coordinator Anne-Dominique Lodeho-Devauchelle details how the HNP is expanding with two major pieces of equipment arriving @campusbiotech: a 7 Tesla MAGNETOM Terra #MRI from @SiemensHealth and a #MEG TRIUX neo from @meetmegin

#MRI people. The deadline to apply for the Gordon research conference on In vivo MRI is 7 days away (June 19). Get onto it! Invite friends! Fantastic for science and networking.
Also, there are some mystery updates to the program-to be announced soon.

My PhD was on MR Microscopy of Aplysia neurons. The same animal model Eric Kandel used to unveil how memory is formed in neuron networks.
For my defense, my colleagues asked him to write me a few words. Odds were low but he actually did: I got congrats from the very Eric Kandel!
As we announce the retirement of our codirector Eric Kandel, MD, we celebrate his extraordinary scientific career. Read more about this expert in learning and memory who built bridges between science and the humanities:
