MICCAI 2019

MICCAI 2019 DAILY Carole Sudre Did you hear any feedback from them? To have this relationship between what the clinician wants and that all the people I work with can provide an answer to continuously progress. It’s not a loop that goes on by itself. Each time, there is a new solution then there is a new question. Then there is a new solution again. There is this constant dynamic that makes it really interesting for me. Is there any specific achievement that you hope to have during your career? Maybe you can pinpoint something that you want to solve. There is a difference between what I dream of achieving and the realistic ambitions. If we manage to really understand what these things are doing to the brain, how the brain ages, and why do people get sick, why does the brain degenerate, why people end up having problems. If we manage to really understand what’s happening. If we understand how all the pieces of the puzzle, from the biology to the microscopic changes that we see to the way that people function. If we can understand the full pathway between those things, then this means we will be able to find ways to treat. For me, that would be amazing. Make that happen in my lifetime... before brain degenerates! We are so many people working on it. There are actually good dynamics of people trying to work on it. Each of us is trying with other people to put our own little brick to build a wall that, in the end, will be a full house. We are all like that, bringing our small, little bricks. I love that metaphor! Why did you choose England? I didn’t choose England. I chose the people I wanted to work with. I chose the group after doing research with them. I wanted to continue working with the same people. I loved what they were working on. At the universities in England, it is fully international. You have so many people other than British that being a foreigner is almost a norm. UNSURE workshop is on Thursday (12:30 to 16:30) in Madrid 5 room. Read many more interviews of Women Scientists. 17
