BBL/CIBM/FCBG research day 2021
The first joint research day between the Brain Behaviour Laboratory (BBL) and the CIBM dates back to 2010 with 21 presentations and 13 posters from 17 distinct research groups with an attendance of 65 participants in that first meeting.
The main goal of this annual event is to follow up on research projects that are using one of the MRI platforms available in the Geneva area. Until 2017, this concerned MRI infrastructure at the BBL and the CIBM, but since 2018, the research day is open to the FCBG users.
The secondary goal – the most important indeed – is to bring together researchers and students in order to strengthen the link between groups and share the knowledge and experience among teams active in biomedical imaging, from clinical to neuroscience research.
This event invites all research groups in the Geneva area, especially students, working in neuroimaging and especially in human MRI. Neuroscientists working on other fields than MRI are also most welcome and are invited to present their work in form of posters.
