Hi All,

Neil Lax, a PhD student in my lab, will be defending his PhD dissertation Tuesday at 2pm in Laura Falk Lecture Hall (first floor of Mellon Hall on the side of the building with the BSNES dean's office entrance door).

This is a public presentation and you are all welcome to attend.

Title of the talk is "Characterization of G-protein coupled receptors in pain, depression and anxiety" and will focus on Neil's characterization of a novel extract from a marine cyanobacteria (collected by the Tidgewell lab) for antidepressant, anti-anxiety and analgesic activity in mice.

Global health friends,

 

I’m excited to pass along a ‘save the date’ for an upcoming campus-wide global health event on February 12th, 2019 in the Power Center (see attached flyer). The event will coincide with the David F. Kelly Bioethics lecture, and will include posters/table presentations, networking opportunities and panel presentations surrounding the topic of global health. The poster/table session is aimed to gather submissions from faculty/staff/students across campus to highlight different aspects of global health practice, teaching and research. Submissions are welcomed that describe globally-relevant research, study-abroad courses, international partnership descriptions and more. I know this group has lots to contribute to this event.

 

A short abstract (100 words) is due to Gerald Boodoo (boo...@duq.edu) by January 29^th, 2019 if you are interested to participate in the poster/table session. The other activities (lecture, reception and panel) are open to everyone. Please pass along to any students that might be interested in, and feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions. More information will be released in the Spring semester, but it’s never too early to block off your calendar.

 

Thanks!

Dr. Jordan Covvey

Hi All,

I hope the summer is going great. 

We have our first Pain/Neuroscience seminar/journal club of the summer on Tuesday May 28 at 11:30-12:30 in Bayer 101A. (FYI - Dr. Lewter will be speaking with some undergraduate researchers 11-11:30am so please wait outside the room until 11:30am).

Dr. Keisha Lewter (Post-doc Kolber Lab) will present a seminar entitled "The analgesic profile of novel positive allosteric modulators of the GABAa receptor”. 

If you are interested in reading up beforehand, attached is an article by Dr. Lewter.

Hi Pain Folks,

On June 27, Dr. Lauren Ullrich, a program officer for the NIH NINDS (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) will be giving a seminar entitled “Tips and Tricks for NIH Fellowship Applications” at 11:30am-12:30pm in Maurice Falk Lecture Hall.

This should be an excellent seminar from a program officer describing the general process as well as tips and tricks for submitting NIH NRSA F31 and F32 grants to the NIH.  Although Dr. Ullrich is from the NINDS her remarks should be general enough for all institutes at the NIH (almost all of them have open RFAs for NRSA applications). Information will be particularly relevant to applicants (students, post-docs) as well as faculty sponsors.

Attached is the flyer.

Best,

Ben
