It is a great pleasure to invite you to attend a seminar by Professor Jean Rossier from INSERM, France. Dr. Rossier has made several major discoveries in neuropharmacology including his work on neuropeptides with Bloom, Guillemin, and Udenfriend. He discovered multiple opioïd peptides delineating several distinct neuronal systems involved in pain and reward. Turning his interests on GABAA receptors, he made the seminal observation that several inverse agonists facilitate performance in learning and memory tasks. This has led to the present development by the pharmaceutical industry of specific inverse agonists which are candidates for promnesic drugs. His most widely technical contribution in neuroscience is the invention of single cell RT-PCR after patch-clamp. This unexpected marriage of molecular biology and physiology led to several discoveries. With single cell RT-PCR, he has deciphered the molecular organization of various synaptic receptors. He is now using RT-PCR and a multidisciplinary approach combining electrophysiology, pharmacology and imaging to characterize the diversity of neocortical interneurons and their roles in local blood flow control.
Erika Hagelberg er professor ved Institutt for biovitenskap og har blant annet forsket på historisk DNA. Paleontologen Jørn Hurum har med sine studier av apeskjelettet Ida og spektakulære fossilfunn på Svalbard satt Norge på paleontologi-kartet for alvor, mens historiker Erling Sandmo er interessert i hva vår fascinasjon for monstre og dinosaurer kan si oss om vår egen tid.
