各位老师,您好：

由实验室贺永老师邀请了National  University of Singapore的Anqi Qiu博士来实验室做报告。信息如下，欢迎感兴趣的老师来听。

报告时间：1月9日（周一）上午10:00

报告地点：脑成像中心三层大会议室

报告题目：Computational Functional Anatomy in  Dementia

报告摘要：

Computational Functional  Anatomy in Dementia

Anqi Qiu

Department of  Bioengineering

National University of  Singapore

Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)  techniques have been widely used to investigate imaging markers associated with  psychiatric disorder and neurodegenerative diseases. In this talk, I will move  away from traditional volumetric analysis to sophisticated morphological shape  analysis for both gray matter structures and white matter tracts assessed using  both conventional T1-weighted MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). I will  demonstrate its in early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and  Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using the datasets of ADNI, South Korean ADNI, and  Singapore Memory Aging Cognition Study.

报告人简要介绍:

Qiu  Anqi received her BS in Biomedical Engineering from Tsinghua University in 1999,  MS degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Applied Mathematics and Statistics from  University of Connecticut in 2002 and from the Johns Hopkins University in 2005,  respectively. She obtained her Ph.D degree at the Johns Hopkins University in  2006. After one-year postgraduate training, she joined the National University  of Singapore as assistant professor and launched her own Computational  Functional Anatomy Laboratory at both the Faculty of Engineering and the School  of Medicine. She currently holds multiple positions at both the NUS and ASTAR.  In particular, she participates the development of a new clinical imaging  research center (CIRC) under the partnership between the NUS and ASTAR.

  Since  her Ph. D study, she has worked on the field of medical image analysis. Her  research focuses on the translation of mathematical modeling to quantitative  medicine. Especially, she has been interested in extracting anatomical and  functional information from MRI images in order to identify neuroimaging  biomarkers associated with neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric. Her group is  currently leading the neuroimaging core of two major national projects: infant  brain development and dementia.http://www.bioeng.nus.edu.sg/cfa/
