The
Center for Research in Human Movement Variability (CRHMV) will be holding the 2015 COBRE Research Day beginning at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 13, at the Biomechanics Research Building on the University of Nebraska at Omaha campus at 6001 Dodge St.
The registration deadline is May 1. The event is free to attend for all participants and the community. To register, click here.
The program will include presentations from CRHMV investigators on human movement variability and its relationship with diseases such as autism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease and others.
The program’s highlights include a keynote lecture by Karl Newell, Ph.D, associate dean for research, University of Georgia. Dr. Newell’s research interests lie in the area of human movement in general and more specifically in motor learning and control. His research focuses on the coordination, control and skill of normal and abnormal human movement across the lifespan; intellectual disabilities and development of motor skills; and, drug and exercise influences on movement control.
Organizers also encourage faculty, postdocs and students to present scientific posters during the meeting relating to human movement. A dedicated unopposed time for the scientific posters will be provided in the program. Awards for posters also will be given at the social immediately following the keynote speaker. Meeting information is available through the CRHMV.
Tours of the Biomechanics Research Building and UNO’s state-of-the-art laboratories also will be offered.
