Looking forward to hosting all those involved in cutting edge work in BMI nationally and internationally here at WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute in Morgantown, WV.
In August BMI patients, Neurosurgeons, Neural Engineers, Neuroscientists, and BMI industry experts will be speaking at the Brain Machine Interface Summit. The event is hosted by the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute and the National Science Foundation. http://www.bmisummit.org/ #bci #neuralengineering
Guidelines from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association are not just ink on paper. New research from West Virginia University shows these strategies are helping hospitals respond to stroke cases quicker, even when teams assemble on the fly.
Congratulations to our own Dr. Melanie Ward, who was among the members of The State Journal's Generation Next: 40 Under 40. Dr. Ward's dedication to excellence in education and patient care exemplifies the values of the RNI, making her an invaluable asset to the Institute and the broader scientific community.

Today, the WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute is honoring #thelongestday to raise awareness of #Alzheimersdisease and #dementia. We are grateful for our patients and their families who shared their stories. They inspire our team to continue to strive for a #cure.
The RNI is proud to join the Alzheimer's Association® for #TheLongestDay in the fight to #EndAlz for patients like Mike and Linda. These are just some of the stories submitted to our RNI Memory Wall to honor those affected by #Alzheimers and #dementia. Thank you to those who sponsored a flower in honor of their loved one. All proceeds benefitted the Alzheimer's Association, West Virginia Chapter.
“The advances we make with the innovative research supported by this generous gift become part of the comprehensive treatment approach we take for individuals living with early-stage Alzheimer's disease." The Miller Family Alzheimer’s Research Fund was established in honor of Marshall Miller, who passed away Jan. 20, 2019, following a 15-year battle with the disease.
We're almost ready to celebrate The Longest Day tomorrow! It's not too late to get involved with our efforts to support the Alzheimer's Association® ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ea6eTdgR
#MeetTheExpert: Dr. Aminata Coulibaly is a distinguished member of WVU's Department of Neuroscience. Coulibaly's lab focuses on understanding the interplay between the immune system and the central nervous system. Building off her previous work, the Coulibaly laboratory is trying to understand how neutrophils interact with the brain in basic cognition, after stroke, and in Alzheimer's Disease. This is done using various transgenic mouse models, cell culture, pharmaceuticals compounds, immunological assays, and imaging. “The most rewarding aspect of my job is the science. It is rewarding to take in different information published and get a snapshot of the physiological process in place. I love interacting with students and colleagues intellectually. I truly enjoy working with my students to come up with solutions or ways to better answer our science questions. I love attending conferences to share the work my amazing lab members are performing.” #WVUNeuro #WVUNeurology #WVURNI #Neurology #Neuroscience
