[Job] Engineer for an imaging platform for brain cytoarchitecture at Neurospin
Published online on October 10, 2019.
Neurospin offers a permanent position for an engineer (M/F) in charge of developing an imaging platform for brain cytoarchitecture.
NeuroSpin's methodological teams have been developing magnetic resonance imaging methods to probe the microstructure of brain tissue for over a decade. These methods use diffusion and quantitative MRI data to non-invasively map the cellular organization of the various regions of the brain and study their variability between regions or between individuals. Being able to perform these maps in vivo is of interest to neuroscientists from both a fundamental and clinical point of view. Indeed, being able to characterize in vivo the cytoarchitecture of the cerebral cortex should make it possible to better understand the correlates between anatomical substrate and brain functions, and thus better understand the origins of the variability of these functions between individuals, and thus develop new atlases of cytoarchitectonic areas on the cortex surface. In addition, being able to characterize in vivo the cellular organization of brain tissue is also an important advance that can be exploited in clinical research to better identify tissue changes occurring at the cellular level during the development of brain pathologies.
The team in charge of this transversal Cyto In Vivo research program is currently developing a webservice infrastructure that is required because it involves very large-scale digital simulations requiring high-performance computing performed within the Very Large Computing Centre (TGCC, Bruyères-le-Châtel), and machine learning techniques to learn the MRI signature of multiple cellular environments and then be able to recognize them, in order to provide NeuroSpin's imaging platform with a unique in vivo mapping service for the cytoarchitecture of the human brain.
The engineer position, on permanent contract, therefore aims to contribute to the development of this imaging platform for human brain cytorachitecture, which is structured around several missions:
[Training] Webinar series on Quality and Reproducibility issues

[Job] PhD student in High resolution mapping of neural networks by optical microscopy
Published online on June 14,2019
High resolution mapping of neural networks by optical microscopy in preclinical research
SUMMARY: The objective of this thesis work will be to develop original software tools to study whole brain neuron populations in preclinical research. The images will be acquired by optical microscopy at very high magnification to allow individualization at the scale of neurons. The counting and modelling of the cytoarchitecture of these cells will provide new information of great interest in healthy cases (anatomy, development) but also pathological cases (neurodegenerative diseases, neuronal death). Advanced image processing techniques will be used to conduct these analyses (machine learning, high performance computing). Finally, validation of the results obtained on multi-species data produced at CEA-MIRCen will be carried out by comparing the results obtained with the stereological reference technique (cell counting) and with anatomical segmentations (neuroanatomist expert, digital atlases).

[Job] Post-doctoral position Measuring cellular compartmentation of brain lactate, CEA
Published online on March 26, 2019
Post-doctoral position
Measuring cellular compartmentation of brain lactate and its alterations during brain activity, plasticity and Alzheimer’s disease
Environment and context: MIRCen is a preclinical research center located in the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) center of Fontenay-aux-Roses (5 km south from Paris). MIRCen hosts the Unité Mixte de Recherche UMR 9199 (“Neurodegenerative Diseases Laboratory”), as well as several platforms dedicated to the development of animal models of neurodegenerative disease and to the evaluation of novel therapies. It gathers complementary expertise and methodologies, such as biochemistry, cell culture, gene transfer, confocal microscopy, PET imaging and MRI. In particular, MIRCen hosts an in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) group. MRS allows the non-invasive quantification of intracellular metabolites in large brain regions and, through advanced diffusion-weighting techniques developed in MIRCen, can potentially be sensitive to the compartmentation of brain lactate. Lactate compartmentation, i.e. its distribution between neurons, glial cells and the extracellular space, is tightly linked to lactate metabolism, and in particular to the astrocyte-to-neuron lactate shuttle mechanism.

[Job] PhD: study of the energetic metabolism in vivo by glucose CEST-MRI
August 29, 2018 - This position is closed
PhD title: Methodological developments in metabolic imaging by CEST-MRI for the detection and quantification of glucose - applications to Alzheimer's disease
Glucose is the main source of energy production, particularly in the brain. Compelling evidence indicates a key role of glucose metabolism defects in several neurodegenerative diseases. A new magnetic resonance imaging modality (chemical exchange saturation transfer or CEST), has been proposed to image glucose non-invasively with high spatial and temporal resolutions. This magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method called glucoCEST could offer a new tool to map energy metabolism in healthy and pathological mouse brain. However, this method is currently limited by the lack of specificity. Indeed, only relative changes in glucoCEST signal are reported but such measurements provide little information about absolute variations of glucose concentration and its degradation products through glycolytic pathway into the brain. In addition to the methodological aspect of the CEST acquisitions, the quantitative aspect is currently one of the major limitations of CEST imaging which prevents the transfer of the technique for clinical applications.
In this context, the goals of this project are first to push methodological developments of glucoCEST acquisition, then to develop innovative tools to quantify the glucoCEST signal in order to establish quantitative maps of glucose utilization in vivo using pharmacokinetics models, and finally, to demonstrate that our method may be a relevant biomarker of brain energy metabolism alterations in Alzheimer’s disease using a well characterized mouse model.
