DESCRIPTION:Dr Joanes Grandjean\, Singapore BioImaging Consortium\, Singap
 ore.\nA comprehensive understanding of the architecture and function of th
 e healthy and diseased brain\, often referred to as the “connectome”\,
  is one of the biggest challenges in neuroscience. Analysis of the brain f
 unction using neuroimaging tools provides valuable insight into informatio
 n processing at the organ level. Functional imaging has been extensively u
 sed to map the human brain\, to localize brain activity evoked by specific
  cognitive tasks or estimate large-scale brain networks during rest. These
  methods have been used to map areas affected by brain disorders. Advances
  in high field magnets and radio-frequency coils now enable researchers to
  extend these researches to animal models\, where brain circuits can be di
 ssected in details. Studies in animal models offer a strong translational 
 perspective to investigate the molecular mechanisms behind MRI-based finge
 rprints of human brain disorders\, or to partake in the drug development p
 rocess.\n\nBio:\nJoanes Grandjean obtained his Bachelor in Biology from t
 he University of Lausanne\, followed by a Master in Neuroscience and a PhD
  in Biomedical engineering from the ETH Zürich. Following a short post-do
 c in the laboratory where he obtained his PhD\, Joanes joined the Singapor
 e BioImaging Consortium (A*) in 2016 as a Research Fellow. Joanes uses hig
 h-field mouse functional MRI techniques and optogenetic to study the dynam
 ics of functional connectivity with an emphasis toward understanding the l
 arge-scale circuits involved in affective disorders and neurodegeneration.
