Reykjavik University (Iceland) New Drugs For ADHD In Development

Reykjavik University (Iceland) New Drugs For ADHD In Development


November 26, 2022April 1, 2023

雷克雅未克大学和3Z的研究人员最近发表在《自然》杂志《神经精神药理学》上。本文介绍了正在开发的治疗ADHD的新药。 注意力缺陷多动障碍是一种非常普遍的神经发育障碍。“ADHD的一线治疗方法,哌醋甲酯,会引起严重的副作用,包括体重减轻,失眠和高血压。此外,一些被诊断患有多动症的人不能服用任何药物。因此,非兴奋剂疗法的开发已被优先考虑,“RU工程系生物医学工程教授Karl Ægir Karlsson说。 近年来,RU的研究人员开发了一种斑马鱼ADHD的转基因模型,用于有组织地寻找ADHD药物。确定了五种新的ADHD候选疗法;四部改用,一部小说。 “这些药物正在进行进一步的测试,并正在为市场开发,”Karl Ægir说。

Reykjavik University (Iceland) Doctoral Students From The IBNE Institute At RU Awarded In Rome


November 26, 2022April 1, 2023

生物医学与神经工程研究所 (IBNE) 的四名博士生最近参加了 2022 年在罗马举行的 IEEE MetroXRAINE 会议,该会议代表扩展现实、人工智能和神经工程计量学国际会议。其中两位,Marco Recenti和Deborah Jacob获得了会议期间颁发的研究个人奖:Marco获得了最佳博士贡献奖,Deborah获得了最佳女性论文奖。 IBNE汇集了来自冰岛各地的科学家,医务人员和工程师,在神经科学,生物医学工程,组织工程和临床研究方面取得了进展,可以在冰岛和国际上产生重大的社会影响。IBNE在医疗技术中心内运营,该中心是由雷克雅未克大学和Landspitali建立的基础设施,旨在加强生物医学工程专业知识在临床环境中的影响力。 IBNE的部分工作是使用BioVRSea研究晕动病和姿势控制,BioVRSea是一种独特的虚拟现实,多仪器环境,使用心率,脑电图和肌电图等多种生物特征信号研究晕动病和姿势控制的生理学。Deborah和Marco都因在BioVRSea实验室进行的工作而在会议上获奖(您可以在RU大楼的“Sun”中轻松找到该实验室)。 Marco的工作围绕研究生活方式对晕动病的可能影响而发展,使用机器学习和BioVRSea收购的生物测量。这项研究遵循了之前关于生活方式对老年受试者影响的研究,其中从CT扫描中提取的一些软组织参数能够预测高血压和糖尿病。获奖研究旨在了解生活方式在诱发晕动病实验中的影响有多大,以及健康的生活方式如何积极缓解晕动病的症状。 Deborah的工作使用BioVRSea设置调查了早期帕金森病的症状。获奖研究可以极大地影响和改善帕金森病和受神经系统疾病影响的人的治疗方法。Marco和Deborah以及IBNE的其他成员之前已经发表了关于BioVRSea的工作。 BioVRSea实验室的未来工作包括深化生活方式和帕金森研究,以及创建一个大型健康受试者数据库,以更好地了解晕动病任务期间身体会发生什么,以及影响和导致症状的生物信号是什么。…

Reykjavik University (Iceland) Exchange Study Agreement With Singapore University Of Technology And Design

雷克雅未克大学工程系主任阿古斯特·瓦尔费尔斯(Ágúst Valfells)是高等教育、科学和创新部长阿斯劳格·阿尔纳·西古尔比约恩斯多蒂尔(Áslaug Arna Sigurbjörnsdóttir)于11月初率领的代表团的一员访问新加坡。 此次访问旨在了解新加坡近年来为促进创新环境所采取的方式。新加坡在该领域的成功引起了人们的关注,但其结构植根于强大的大学环境和与世界一流大学的合作。 代表团由来自行政部门、大学和创新环境的各种人士以及冰岛企业的代表组成,访问了包括新加坡科技与设计大学(SUTD)在内的几所大学。 根据Ágúst的说法,SUTD在规模和操作方面与RU有许多相似之处。 这所拥有十多年历史的技术大学为跨学科研究制定了具体的政策,其中设计思维是最重要的。其毕业生是新加坡最受欢迎的劳动力之一。由于绝大多数学生都在本科学习,因此在教学方面投入了大量资金;尽管如此,与此同时,研究活动非常高和强大,尽管博士课程在学生人数方面相对较小。与SUTD达成了建立交流计划的协议,并开始讨论研究生学习的合作。 代表团访问结束后,Ágúst继续访问SUTD,在那里他介绍了RU和冰岛能源学院的地热研究。 新加坡有兴趣将地热能与其他可持续能源一起使用,因为为赤道这个庞大的工业和技术社区提供动力需要大量能源。
