USC President\u00a0C. L. Max Nikias<\/a>, PhD, was honored April 14 with the Humanitarian Award of the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics. The award is presented to physicians and scientists who have made significant contributions to survival and quality of life of patients across the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a tremendous honor to accept this award on behalf of the university,\u201d said Nikias, emphasizing the priority USC has given to this important discipline.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the potential to improve the lives of so many people around the world, we have made significant investments and multidisciplinary appointments to advance our capabilities in brain mapping, neuroscience and the biosciences more broadly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leader in brain mapping<\/strong><\/p>\n

USC has emerged as a leader in brain mapping, a field that straddles biological science and engineering and brings improved measurements to clinical treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s and autism.<\/p>\n

The field\u2019s leading researchers like\u00a0Paul Thompson<\/a>, PhD, and\u00a0Arthur Toga<\/a>, PhD, make their home at the\u00a0USC Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute<\/a>\u00a0and its Laboratory of Neuro Imaging. Among the researchers\u2019 projects is the ENIGMA network, the largest brain-mapping project in the world. Harvard University radiologist and leading imaging expert Bruce Rosen once described Toga and Thompson\u2019s group as \u201cthe world\u2019s premier lab when it comes to finding insights about the brain in massive amounts of data from scans and genetic tests.\u201d<\/p>\n

USC\u2019s investment in the field also includes creating the\u00a0Alzheimer\u2019s Therapeutic Research Institute<\/a>\u00a0of the\u00a0Keck School of Medicine of USC<\/a>\u00a0as leading Alzheimer\u2019s researcher\u00a0Paul Aisen<\/a>, MD, came to the university. Aisen and his staff have enrolled more than 1,000 people in international clinical trials and are still seeking more participants.<\/p>\n

And in November, the university debuted Michelson Hall and the Michelson Center for Convergent Bioscience, a multidisciplinary center that brings scientists from all over the campus \u2014 the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences, the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the Keck School \u2014 to solve the world\u2019s most pressing health problems.<\/p>\n

Nikias receives award, praises USC\u2019s priorities<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis recognition is a testament to the advances USC has already made, and the trajectory the university is on, to be a global leader in these disciplines in the decades to come,\u201d Nikias said.<\/p>\n

The Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics honors pioneers in brain mapping at its gala each year. This year\u2019s event was held at the Millennium Biltmore hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. In addition to Nikias, the list of honorees included Nobel laureate Eric Kandel and U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have many university presidents and distinguished individuals who were nominated, but Dr. Nikias was the finest candidate because he is a Renaissance man who has impacted humanity through significant contributions to medicine, science, technology, art and policy,\u201d said Babak Kateb, chairman and CEO of the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur global strategy is to break the boundaries of science, technology, medicine, art and healthcare policy, and Max has clearly achieved that.\u201d<\/p>\n
