On November 4th, the Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience (PIIN) kicked off its Life Sciences-Engineering Trainee Workshop Series. The two-part program aims to bring together interdisciplinary research teams of graduate students and postdocs focused on tackling significant problems in neuroscience. Selected teams will receive funding from PIIN to conduct their proposed research as part of the institute’s key initiatives.
The first event drew more than 20 graduate students and postdocs. The program began with introductory remarks by Dr.Chris Rochet, the John and Donna Krenicki Director of the Purdue Institute for Integrative Neuroscience. The program was followed by presentations from Justin Patel, who presented a collaboration project between Drs. Rochet, Kinzer-Ursem, and Webb Labs entitled"Fluorescence lifetime microscopy for the imaging of alpha-Synuclein aggregation in the brain". Min Ku Kim also presented a collaboration project between Drs. Malandraki and Lee’s Lab entitled “Sticker like sensor patch for remote management of oropharyngeal swallowing disorders”.
Participants then divided into groups for breakout sessions to begin identifying potential topics for collaboration; you can read a summary of the outcomes below.
Please join us for our second workshop on November 18th from 1-3 pm in DLR 131. Please RSVP here by November 15th.
