Illuminating the Brain: Advances in Neurobiology

Date:

April 15, 2026

Time (ET):

10:00 AM

Duration (min):

Watch leading experts in neurobiology imaging in a virtual symposium exploring cutting-edge multi-modal approaches using ultra-high frequency ultrasound and photoacoustics.

This webinar showcases novel, non-invasive imaging techniques for the mouse brain, utilizing ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging to provide new insights into acute ischemic stroke, neurovascular oxygenation, and brain tumor analysis. By bridging the gap between preclinical research and clinical applications, you will better understand how these advancements enhance the diagnosis and monitoring of brain disease.

Speaker Presentations:Prof. Emmanuelle Canet-Soulas, Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University, FranceTitle: Acute Ischemic Stroke in Brain and treatment evaluation using Multi-modal Imaging with Ultrasound and Photoacoustics

Dr. Pierre Sicard, PhD, Plateforme IPAM/Biocampus (IBiSa / France Life Imaging), FranceTitle: Photoacoustic Imaging of Neurovascular Oxygenation in Cardiovascular Disease Models: From Anesthetized to Awake Mice
