Invited Speakers:

 

Ramamoorthy:
http://rams.biop.lsa.umich.edu/home
Dr. Ayyalusamy (Rams) Ramamoorthy is the Robert W. Parry Collegiate Professor of Chemistry and Biophysics at the University of Michigan. His research focusses on macromolecular structure, function and dynamics in biological systems responsible for diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and cancer, as studied through solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. He is responsible for the development of a number of solid-state NMR pulse sequences, and is the author of NMR Spectroscopy of Biological Solids (CRC Press, 2005).

 

Noseworthy: http://www.ece.mcmaster.ca/~mikenose/web/HOME.html
Dr. Michael Noseworthy is an associate professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McMaster University, the co-director of the McMaster School of Biomedical Engineering, and the Director of Imaging Physics and Engineering at St. Joseph’s Healthcare. His research is centered on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and in-vivo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, working toward the development of advanced medical imaging techniques and equipment for the analysis of tissue microstructure and metabolism. His work in the study of cellular function through the use of sodium magnetic resonance is particularly unique.
