Title: The food fly: neural circuits of feeding and emesis in Drosophila Abstract: Our group is broadly interested in understanding how the brain communicates with the gut and other organ systems to regulate food/nutrient intake. Food intake is mainly influenced by innate sensory inputs and also by memories of past feeding experiences. We have developed and improved handy […]

Speaker: Prof. Marty Pagel (The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Teax ) Title: Molecular Imaging of the Tumor Microenvironment Abstract: Tumor acidosis, hypoxia and vascular perfusion are well-known characteristics of the tumor microenvironment. We have developed MRI, PET/MRI, multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) and electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) to measure extracellular pH, […]
