JOHN H. ZHANG
Title of presentation: Venous Role during ICP, Brain Edema after Stroke
Dr. Zhang has been studying cerebral vascular biology and stroke pathophysiology for the past 27 years. Obtained a PhD in University of Alberta in 1992, did multiple postdoctoral trainings and served as faculty members in several schools, Dr. Zhang became the Christopher Schumpert Endowed Medical Center Chair for Neurosciences in Louisiana State University before he joined Loma Linda University as Director of Center for Neurosciences, Professor of Anesthesiology, Neurosurgery, and Physiology.
Jiping Tang
Title of the presentation: PDGFR in intracerebral hemorrhage
Dr. Jiping Tang graduated from Chongqing Medical University in 1983 and did her residency in Endocrinology. Dr. Tang has been studying the mechanisms of stroke in the past 15 years in several medical universities. She has 150 publications and obtained multiple grants including NIH funding. She was promoted to Assistant Professor in year 2000, and became Associate Professor in 2005, then Full Professor in 2010 and Tenured Professor in 2011. In addition to her research, Dr. Tang has been teaching Physiology and Pharmacology to the medical students and graduate students, and received “Outstanding Teacher Award” and “Outstanding Student Research Supervisor Award” at Loma Linda University.
William J. Pearce
Presentation Title: Smooth Muscle Phenotype: A Marker for Cerebrovascular Stress and Injury
Dr. Pearce is a professor of Physiology, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, and Ob/Gyn, associate Director, Center for Perinatal Biology, in Loma Linda University School of Medicine. After completing doctoral training in physiology at the University of Michigan and post-doctoral training in pharmacology at UCLA, Dr. Pearce joined the faculty at Loma Linda University where he has built a research program focused on the vascular biology of the cerebral circulation. With continuous support from NIH over the past 30 years, Dr. Pearce¹s research has focused on the unique functional and structural characteristics of fetal and neonatal cerebral arteries, how these arteries respond to physiological and pathophysiological stresses, and the mechanisms that govern these responses.
Richard E. Hartman
Presentation Title: Behavioral phenotypes of hemorrhagic brain injuries
Dr. Hartman is a professor of experimental psychology and direct the Behavioral Neuroscience Lab at Loma Linda University in southern California. I graduated from Missouri State University in 1993 with a BS in experimental psychology. I then enrolled in the Behavior, Brain & Cognition program at Washington University in St. Louis, where I studied rodent behavior and neurodegeneration in John Olney's lab. I then trained for 4 years as a postdoc in the lab of Alzheimer's disease expert Dave Holtzman. My first paper characterizing neuropathology following brain injury used a mouse model of traumatic brain injury. Since then, I have published papers characterizing brain injury resulting from early drug exposure, global ischemia, intracerebral hemorrhage, and impact trauma, as well as characterizing a number of transgenic mouse lines and neuroprotective strategies.
Andre Obenaus
Presentation Title: Vascular Injury and Repair following Traumatic Brain Injury
Andre Obenaus, Ph.D. is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine at Loma Linda University. His B.Sc. degree was obtained in Biophysics at La Sierra University and his Ph.D. was obtained from the University of British Columbia in Neurophysiology. Postdoctoral research was completed at the University of California, Los Angeles understanding the anatomical and physiological basis for epilepsy. Currently, his research interests include the use of novel magnetic resonance imaging to identify, non-invasively, neuropathology in brain trauma, tracking of stem cells in ischemic brain injury, febrile seizures and the effects of space radiation on the central nervous system. Finally, the ability to identify neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric abnormalities using neuro-imaging is a new emerging area of research interest.
