IEEE Brain Data Bank Challenge (BDBC) - Finale
The 2020 IEEE Brain Data Bank Challenge (BDBC) is targeted to expose, discuss, and accelerate on-going brain research from around the world. Several BDBC events have been planned for Taiwan, Boston and Russia with the winning team to compete in the final in Silicon Valley (all have now been held as virtual online events). More info can be found at IEEE BDBC 2020 Global Challenge.

Speakers
Dr. Yuan Luo of National Institute of Aging (NIA)
Neurotechnology for Aging Brain and Grants available from National Institute on Aging (NIA)
Biography:
Before coming to NIA, Dr. Luo was a Scientific Review Officer at the Center for Scientific Review managing the Emerging Technology and Training in Neuroscience study sections, including the DrugDiscovery for Aging, Neuropsychiatric and Neurologic Disorders study section. She also served as a member of multiple trans-NIH committees.
Dr. Luo received her BS and MS in Biochemistry & Toxicology from Peking University in China. After aone-year UNESCO-sponsored training in Hungary Academy of Sciences, she obtained Ph.D. in Neuroscience from SUNY Upstate Medical University in 1994. She then accepted two postdoctoral fellowships at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Medical School. Prior to joining NIH in 2010, Dr. Luo spent more than 10 years as a NIH-funded principal investigator and an Associate Professor at The University of Southern Mississippi, and the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy. Her laboratory research interest was on neuroprotection in relation to aging and Alzheimer’s disease using animal models and human study. She supervised more than a dozen Ph.D. students and
postdoctoral fellows and author/co-authored over 50 research articles and book chapters.
