New
Research Ethics Workshop December 2011 An
interactive session that will highlight key legislative requirements
and how Western's Health Sciences REB can help ease you through the
submission and approval process more efficiently and quickly - which
will help you get your research on the road faster. |
DNA Sequencing Workshop, Robarts Research Institute This workshop was held June 8th 2005, and consisted of presentations by the staff, followed by a tour of the DNA Sequencing and the Microarray Facilities at Robarts Research Institute. I would like to thank Dr. Rob Hegele, the Scientific Director of the DNA Sequencing Facility, and John Robinson, who led the workshop. |
Brain Aneurysm Workshop The brain aneurysm workshop on November 8th 2005 was an interesting mix of presentations by Dr. Stephen Lownie, a neurosurgeon at London Health Sciences Centre; Robarts Scientists, Drs. David Holdsworth and David Steinman; and from the University of Western Ontario, Dr. Peter Canham and doctoral student, Renee Korol. Dr. Canham gave an overview of aneurysms. Dr Lownie talked about the neurosurgeon’s dilemma in understanding the level of risk posed by each brain aneurysm. He presented cases of poor patient outcomes – the kind that tend to change thinking and subsequently clinical practice. Dr. Steinman described the power and pitfalls of mathematical modelling for brain arteries and aneurysm blood flow. Renee Korol described laser scanning fluorescence spectroscopy used as an endovascular approach, and Dr. Holdsworth led a discussion on problems within aneurysm research. |
New Biostatistics Workshop - December 2011 A series of 4 biostatistics workshops have been organized for students in the Ttraining Program. The workshops are being taught by Dr. Yves Bureau, a statistician. As well as instruction, the workshops are designed to give students some hands on experience analyzing data sets and are located in one of the computer rooms at Western. The
details of the times and location are: Registration

Ultrasound Workshop This hands on workshop was given by Dr. Tamie Poepping and her students on the evening of November 27th 2008. Students moved between three different stations teaching different aspects of how ultrasound works and got to measure their own carotid arteries and how to calculate the blood flow within them. They also had to measure and identify two mystery objects embedded in cryogel. |
Intra-Cardiac Surgery Workshop This
workshop was given on Tuesday, March 7th 2006 in the Auditorium
of Canadian Surgical Technologies & Advanced Robotics (C-STAR),
by Drs. Gerard Guiraudon, Doug Jones, and Dan Bainbridge. Dr
Jones started with a presentation entitled "Cardiac Electrophysiology:
the Good, the Bad and the Ugly“, describing the mechanisms
of atrial fibrillation. Dr.
Bainbridge’s presentation showed
how tracked transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was used as the
image guidance system to place the valve accurately. |
