IBEC Seminar: Myriam M. Chaumeil

viernes, septiembre 9, 2022 @ 10:00 am12:00 pm

Imaging metabolism in neurological disorders

Associate Professor in Residence, Departments of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science & Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, UCSF
Investigator, Quantitative Bioscience Institutes (QBI)

Lab website : Chaumeil Lab, UCSF

Our lab works on developing and biologically validating magnetic resonance (MR)-based metabolic imaging approaches using animal models of neurological diseases (such as genetically-engineered or toxin-induced). In this talk, I will present how optimized acquisitions strategies, based mostly on the hyperpolarized DNP-MR technology, can be used for improved diagnosis and treatment monitoring of neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and Alzheimer’s disease. I will also show how we use metabolomics approaches to identify potential pathways modified in disease, and normalized with treatment, with an example focusing on interneuron transplantation as a treatment for epilepsy.


Dr. Chaumeil is an Associate Professor in Residence in the department of Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Science and Radiology & Biomedical Imaging at UCSF, a faculty member of three graduate programs (UCSF/UC Berkeley BioEngineering; UCSF Biomedical Science and UCSF Rehabilitation Science), and an investigator in the Quantitative Biosciences Institute. Her research focuses on developing new neuroimaging methods to improve the diagnosis and monitoring of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis or vascular dementia. She is a Junior Fellow of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, and has been recently elected on the board of the ISMRM Hyperpolarized Study group. Dr. Chaumeil grew up in the south of France, and received her engineer degree and her PhD degree in Paris, before moving across the world to California to join UCSF.
