Advanced Imaging Symposium
On Tuesday 27th March, the 16.4T microimaging facility was officially commission by Queensland Minister for State Development, The Hon. John Mickel. The formalities were conducted in the AIBN seminar room and were followed by a tour of the 700 laboratory with presentations by Ian Brereton, Gary Cowin and Nyoman Kurniawan. The official party included Mr Mickel, the Vice Chancellor, Professor Hay, Professor Siddle, Professor Bartlett, Deputy Direction General State Development, Mr Brian Anker and Mrs Sallyanne Atkinson.
In conjunction with the opening, a symposium jointly organised with QBI on Molecular Imaging of the Brain was held the following day at Customs House. The highly stimulating program covered a wide range of molecular imaging and microscopy applications. Presentations were given by international speakers, Stephen Blackband (McKnight Brain Institute, Florida), Zang-Hee Cho (Neuroscience Research Institute, Gachon, Korea), and Kai-Hsiang Chuang (NIH, Bethesda). Australian presenters included David Reutens (Monash), Gary Egan (Howard Florey), Brad Moffat (Melbourne), Graham Galloway (CMR) and Linda Richards (QBI). |
