Cortical Connections Conference 2019

Sofia Grade graduated in Biology and her PhD work focused on neural stem cells and their response to brain injury. Since 2012 she holds a Post-Doc position at the Ludwig-Maximilians University and Helmholtz Center Munich, Germany. Her research aims at understanding neuronal integration... Read More →

Medical student and PhD student (Neuroscience) at the Medical University of Vienna.

I am a medical doctor and PhD student from the Queensland Brain Institute in Brisbane, Australia. The focus of my research is how structural connectivity is reorganised in brain malformations such as agenesis of the corpus callosum. To acheive this, I utilise high field diffusion... Read More →

Ashley Marsh is a Postdoctoral Scholar working in the Gleeson Laboratory for Pediatric Brain Disease at the University of California, San Diego.  Ashley received her PhD in Neurogenetics (Title: Determining the Genetic Control of Corpus Callosum Development) from the University of... Read More →

I'm on my 4th year of thesis. My thesis project has been focused on understanding the mechanisms that governs the formation of the Corpus Callosum during development. We have demonstrated that contrary to current knowledge most cortical neurons have early callosal projections that... Read More →

I have a degree in psychology. In parallel, I develop research on neuroplasticity in patients with dysgenesis of the corpus callosum, at the interface with magnetic resonance imaging and cerebral connectivity.

Theo Marins holds an MSc and a Ph.D. degree in Morphological Sciences obtained at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2014 and 2018, respectively. As a postdoctoral at the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), Marins has been using advanced protocols of... Read More →

Dr Ryan Dean graduated with his PhD from Western Sydney University in 2016 where he studied the physics of magnetic resonance imaging under Prof. William S. Price. Since graduating, Dr Dean has been employed at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), first as research assistant and... Read More →

Laure is a PhD student under the supervision of Dr Juliette Godin at the IGBMC. Her work focuses on the functions of the kinesin KIF21B during cortical development.
