Rafael Linden
M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil, and currently a Full Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Neurogenesis, and former Director of the Institute of Biophysics Carlos Chagas Filho at UFRJ. Research work directed at mechanisms of development of the central nervous system, neurodegeneration, and gene therapy. Best known for contributions to the understanding of the control of programmed cell death in the central nervous system, and more recently, for studies of the functional properties of the prion protein, involved in the pathogenesis of both spongiform encephalopathies and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Stuart A. Lipton
Adjunct Professor of Neurosciences; Professor and Director, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute; Professor (adjunct), Salk Institute for Biological Studies and The Scripps Research Institute.
Neurologist/neuroscientist Stuart Lipton, MD, PhD is a renowned expert in dementia. He was trained at Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard University. In addition to running a basic-science laboratory at The Scripps Research Institute, he has an active clinical neurology practice at UC San Diego focusing on dementia and general neurology. Lipton completed his PhD thesis research with John Dowling at Harvard, followed by clinical residency and a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard with Torsten Wiesel during the time that Wiesel won the Nobel prize. He was then on the Harvard faculty for over 20 years before moving to La Jolla as founding director of a new neuroscience center in 2000.
Feng Liu
Feng Liu received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Life Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and went on to work in the Department of Radiology and Tianjin Key Laboratory of Functional Imaging, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, China. Now he is an associate professor and his current research interests include Brain and Cognition, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Imaging Genetic and Multivariate Pattern Analysis.
Current research focuses on investigating the impact of the environmental factors (e.g., green space, PM 2.5, etc) on human brain measured by magnetic resonance imaging.
