There were also very interesting discussions including a possibility of Synapsy collaboration in view of mood disorders by Tania Rhis.
7 April
Bertarelli Annual Symposium
Campus Biotech – Geneva
22 March to 2 April
14è Journées de la Schizophrénie
Campus Biotech – Geneva
With «Des sons dans la tête (Sounds in the head)», the 14th Edition of Journées de la Schizophrénie (JDS) has invited itself into music places to change the look of people on a sickness that affects 1 over 100 persons.
The opening of the exhibition of Romain Billette “Peintures insoumises” at Ergasia, the exhibition site in Cery, has launched this edition. Plus, “Musiques insoumises” from Louis Billette Quintet has nicely echoed the exhibition by associating jazz & schizophrenia at the EJMA.
The Cully Jazz, JDS new partner, has suggested an evening “Vinylculture” under the theme Jazz & Madness. Music has been heard in several places around the Canton Vaud, like in Morges with a “drawn-concert”: a dialog between electronic music and hand-drawing, with Hélène Becquelin.
These numerous animations, as well as all the organized meetings within institutions and on street markets have been very successful. This success has also reached our website, intensely visited, and the JDS Facebook page which activity has noticeably augmented.
31 March to 1 April
Synapsy’s Annual Meeting
DNF-CHUV – Lausanne
17 March
LWiN Breakfast Meeting
CMU – Geneva
The theme “Dual career couples: problem or opportunity?” has been illustrated by presentations from V. Schwitzgebel & C. Lüscher and L. & M. Williams.
13/19 March
Semaine du Cerveau
The Brain Awareness Week is a week of events for all audiences that take place every year in several cities in Switzerland (and around the world). Members of the Synapsy community are invited to speaks during one or more of these conferences.
8 March
Synapsy’s Happy Hours
CNP – Lausanne
“Biomarkers in psychiatry”
The CHUV department of psychiatry was well represented by speakers coming from the different services and units, including the center for psychiatric neuroscience (CNP), the mood and personality disorder unit as well as the schizophrenia spectrum disorder unit.
We were given an overview (20′ presentation +10′ for Q&A) of new biomarker candidates for diagnostic and response to treatment in psychosis, but also mood and personality disorders.
Antoine Klauser, our guest from the centre for biomedical imaging in Geneva (CIBM-UNIGE) introduced a new technical development using magnetic resonance spectroscopy to produce images of brain metabolites. His presentation raised a lot of interest among different groups working at CHUV and will most likely give rise to new collaboration between Geneva and Lausanne.
19 January
Synapsy’s Happy Hours
CMU – Geneva
Our guest speaker, Romain Daniel Gosselin, gave a very interesting talk “Make science reproducibility great again ! A handful of good practices in biostatistics (for non-statisticians)“.
