SAVE THE DATE - CARIM DAY 2016, 2 November

CARIM DAY 2016 will take place on Wednesday November 2.

This year’s Robert Reneman Lecture will be given by Professor Stephane Laurent.

After last year’s success, the location of the symposium will again be the Minderbroedersberg followed by a festive evening.
More information on the program will be distributed as soon as possible.

CVON Young talent program “HBC Out of the Box Ideas”

Sébastien Foulquier (Pharmacology-Toxicology Dept) received a grant from the CVON Young Talent program “HBC Out of the Box Ideas” for his project entitled: “Cerebral hypoperfusion triggers microglia activation and subsequent neurodegeneration: direct evidence from a chronic in vivo imaging study”

Cerebral hypoperfusion is considered as a major trigger for the development of Vascular Cognitive Impairment. However the different key players involved in this pathological cascade and their involvement in a time-dependent manner remain elusive. This project will provide first insights into the dynamic contribution of microglia cells in the context of cerebral hypoperfusion, a non-neglectable key player of the CNS.

International collaboration for research in prevention of stroke and dementia launched

An international consortium of mostly European investigators has launched a major collaborative research program to uncover mechanisms and pathways in different forms of small vessel disease.

Stroke and dementia rank among the most pressing health issues in Europe. Cerebral small vessel diseases (SVDs) have emerged as a central link between these two major co-morbidities. SVDs account for more than 30% of strokes and at least 40% of dementia cases. They encounter multiple distinct diseases that can be separated based on their underlying genetic defects, risk factors, and clinical presentations. Despite this profound impact on human health, there are no treatments with proven efficacy against SVDs.

Prof. Robert van Oostenbrugge (Department of Neurology) is PI within this consortium for Maastricht University.

CARIM Lecture April 20, 2016

We are very pleased to invite you to the second CARIM Lectures series:

“Advanced imaging: visions of a future for CARIMs cross-theme interactions”

Wednesday April 20, 2016 Location: UNS 50, Bonte Zaal

11:00-11:45 Prof. Peter Peters (M4I nanoscopy)
“A revolution in Cryo-EM; beauty and benefits of nanobiology in life science with a focus on inherited cardiomyopathies”

12:00-12:35 Dr Eline Kooi (MUMC Radiology)
“Noninvasive imaging of the hallmarks of plaque vulnerability

12:45-14:00 Lunch and further discussions (UNS 50, 1.351A)

The scope of the CARIM lectures (3/year) is to stimulate interaction between themes and what better way to achieve this than focus on cellular processes and techniques that may benefit science across CARIMs themes?

Future meetings will center around e.g. tissue regeneration, energy metabolism, autophagy, etc.

Keep an eye out for future announcements, but for now: We hope to see you all on April 20th!
