The Students of Brain Research have number
of supporters who enable us to organize and host events for our growing network
of young researchers. From universities to industry and a variety of institutes
we thought we'd take a moment to give credit where it's due and thank our
supporters for their hard work and generous sponsorship over the past
years.

Professional Development Dinner
The SOBR Network would like to thank the following organisations and institutes for their generous support:
The Ritchie Centre, MIMR-PHI Institute of Medical Research
The
Ritchie Centre is a research centre in the MIMR-PHI Institute of Medical
Research. We are located at Monash Medical Centre in Clayton, Melbourne,
Australia. The Ritchie is a leading Australian research centre for the
study of women's and children's health. Our scientists are working to answer
the important questions about pregnancy health, fetal development, the newborn
baby and women's health. We are committed to better health for babies and women
by better understanding what makes us less healthy. At the Ritchie Centre,
tomorrow's treatments are being developed today.
SOBR would also like to thank the following:

SOBR Symposium 2013
The SOBR Network would like to thank the following organisations and institutes for their generous support:
The ICT for Life
Sciences Forum
Globally, there is now much activity in what is referred to
as the “new biology”, the marrying of the life and medical sciences with
engineering, mathematics, materials science and computing. The new biology, or convergence science,
offers the hope of adding to our knowledge and understanding about important
health issues that will result in new technologies and innovation which promise
to transform healthcare. Some talk about
the new biology as leading to the era of personalized or precision medicine,
where an individual is treated based on their genetic and other information.
The ICT for Life Sciences Forum is a unique initiative of
like-minded organisations in Melbourne, committed to bringing together
researchers with an interest in the opportunities for innovation and research
offered by the new biology.
The Forum
holds regular presentations from local and international experts to discuss how
the convergence of disciplines is making a profound impact on improved
diagnosis and the treatment of health conditions. The Forum encourages new relationships
between researches, including early career researchers, and opportunities for
collaboration between local and international scientists.
Members of the public who wish to be kept up
to date with the latest developments in science also attend events. The Forum profiles the exciting range of
convergence science taking place in Melbourne across fields such as
neuroscience, bionics, systems biology and bioinformatics.
The ICT for Life Sciences Forum also organises the annual
Graeme Clark Oration, a major public event that celebrates the achievements of
Professor Graeme Clark, one of Australia’s greatest scientists.
All Forum events are open to the public and free of charge
and many presentations are available for viewing online at www.ict4lifesciences.org.au
MAPrc
The
Monash Alfred Psychiatry research centre, known as ‘MAPrc’, is a clinical
research centre based both within Monash University and Alfred Health. We were
founded in 1994 with three staff members and since then we have grown to 170
staff and students. Our catchphrase is ‘We mend minds’ which encapsulates our
aim to develop new treatments, new understanding and new approaches for people
with severe mental illnesses.
Our
five key areas of psychiatry research are women’s mental health, psychiatric
neurotechnology, psychopharmacology, mental health services research and
cognitive neuropsychology. Currently we are running 102 clinical trials, and as
a clinical research centre we are able to translate research discoveries
through our clinics: Women’s Mental Health, TMS Depression and Voices Clinic.
We
have had a number of world-first discoveries. Professor Kulkarni is leading the
field in the understanding and use of hormones for the treatment of women with
schizophrenia, depression and other mental illnesses. Professor Fitzgerald is a
world leader in the development of brain stimulation techniques for depression,
including the development of deep brain stimulation. Other ground-breaking
research includes Professor Rossell’s work in cognitive strategies for people
with schizophrenia, Dr Enticott’s new brain stimulation treatments for autism,
Dr Kate Hoy’s work with magnetic seizure therapy, Dr Maller’s work with diffusion
tensor imaging and Dr Stuart Lee’s consultancy work with large service delivery
programs in mental health.
MAPrc offers a unique opportunity to work both
in research and clinical practice. What motivates us at MAPrc is seeing people
with serious mental health problems being able to progress in their lives
through our innovative research-based treatments. The long waiting lists for
our clinics are an indication of how much the community values our work. You
can find more about the different research streams and hear from some of our
researchers on our YouTube channel as well as read more
about us on our website. We are always looking for
enthusiastic, bright, motivated honours/post graduate students. A list of our
current projects can be found here.
