DESCRIPTION:Prof. Ileana Jelescu\, CHUV/UNIL\n<< Registration below >>\n\n
 Abstract: Can diffusion MRI combined with biophysical modeling serve as a
 n in vivo non-invasive microscope of the human brain? In this talk we will
  go through latest developments in white and gray matter modeling\, as wel
 l as their applications and added value to the characterization of a varie
 ty of neuropsychiatric disorders. Lastly\, we will present our latest work
  in using the apparent diffusion coefficient as a functional MRI contras
 t independent of neurovascular coupling to map neural activity in the wh
 ite matter.\n\nBio: Ileana Jelescu is an Assistant Professor in the Facul
 ty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne\, and in the Radi
 ology Department of the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV)\, where she le
 ads the Microstructure Mapping Lab. She is a physicist with expertise in 
 MRI microscopy\, ultra-high field MRI\, biophysical modeling\, and tissue
  microstructure. She holds an Eccellenza Professorial Fellowship to dev
 elop in vivo brain microstructure quantification\, as well as an ERC Start
 ing Grant to develop novel functional MRI contrasts exploiting microstruct
 ure fluctuations during neuronal activity. Her training includes master's 
 degrees from Ecole Polytechnique (France) and McGill University (Canada)\,
  a PhD from Université Paris-Saclay (France)\, a postdoc at New York Univ
 ersity (USA) and a staff scientist position at CIBM\, EPFL.\n\nThe seminar
  is followed by an aperitif. \n\nRegistration appreciated\nLook at our ot
