AI in Healthcare Meet and Greet
2021-02-02 13:00 - 14:30
We invite you to join us for the series of monthly AI in Healthcare Cluster Meet-and-Greet events that will take place via Zoom. The goal of the Meet-and-Greet meetings is to facilitate new collaborations by giving members of this new cluster the opportunity to present their own research interests and expertise as well as hear about that of other members. This and future meet-and-greet events will include short talks/introductions with time for questions. Registrants are encouraged to present short 3 minute presentations which will be followed by 2 minutes of questions. You may indicate your interest in presenting on the registration site.

GCC Mental Health Research Seminar, Matters of the Heart: Contributions of Psychoneuroimmunology to Spousal Bereavement
2021-02-08 13:00 - 14:00
Dr. Chris Fagundes is an associate professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Rice University, Dr. Fagundes uses theories and methods from clinical, social, and developmental health psychology to examine how stress “gets under the skin” to impact diseases of older adulthood such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and cognitive decline. He is also interested in how the immune system regulates neuronal function in ways that influence mood and health behaviors. He has authored more than 100 articles and book chapters. As a principal investigator, his current grant portfolio consists of two longitudinal observational studies funded by the National Institute of Health, and one clinical trial funded by the National Endowment of Arts. He is a co-investigator on two additional NIH grants using mobile health sensing technology to identify when people are most at risk for poor health behaviors. Dr. Fagundes has served as a mentor on individual NIH training applications at the post-bachelor, pre-doctoral, post-doctoral, and junior faculty level. He was named a “Rising Star” by the Association of Psychological Science. He was the recipient of the Robert Ader New Investigator Award from the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society, the Neal E. Miller New Investigator Award from the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research, the Excellence in Health Psychology Research Award by an Early Career Professional from Division 38 of the American Psychological Association, and the Herbert Weiner Early Career Award from the American Psychosomatic Society.

SAVE THE DATE: Third Biennial Patricia Levy Zusman International Workshop on Neuroregeneration Symposium
2021-03-03 02:00 - 2021-03-06 11:00
The application of neural stimulation technologies and computer interfaces for paralysis, neuroregenerationand psychiatric disorders has risen steadily. However, the field will be accelerated by a deeper molecular and physiological understanding of the mechanisms of neural plasticity. The neuroregeneration symposium seeks to unite expertise in these two disciplines from worm to man in six plenary sessions over two days chaired by prominent researchers and clinicians to drive a workshop-style discussion The speakers in each session are international leaders in computer interface and brain signaling, neuroplasticity, biomaterial engineering, and cutting edge regenerative model systems.

The proposed outcome for this symposium:

Development of proposals and collaborations,An illustration and review of how activity changes the biology of neurons andA roadmap for exciting interdisciplinary intersections that should be explored to improve the function of BCI and similar technologies in the clinic.
