09. Research
1. MRI Study: Volunteers needed Children ages 6-17
Volunteers are needed to participate in an MRI study to investigate new methods for imaging flow patterns of blood and cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. The goal of the study is to understand flow patterns in healthy individuals to compare these results with the abnormal flow patterns seen in individuals with diseases such as hydrocephalus. Because these diseases are common in children, we are seeking healthy children with no previous history of neurological disease, head trauma, hydrocephalus, or any contraindication for an MRI, to serve as a control group for our study. The study will involve 1 hour of your time and be completely non-invasive. No injections will be given. Subjects will be given a $25 gift certificate to Border’s Bookstore for participating in the study.
If interested, please contact Veronica Geronimo, study coordinator, at 4-2409, or vgeronim@notes.cc.sunysb.edu, or Mark Wagshul, PhD at mwagshul@notes.cc.sunysb.edu.

2. Seeking Volunteers For A Colon Cancer Study
If You Have Colon Cancer You May Qualify to Participate in a
Research Study Simply by Donating a Sample of Blood
We are seeking to identify new cancer markers in blood, tissue, and body fluids. This may allow us to develop laboratory tests which can diagnose cancers earlier and/or identify patients who are at risk for a poor outcome and who may benefit from more aggressive therapy than is normally recommended.

1. Volunteer Opportunity for Faculty, Staff and OLLI Members

Many of our international TA's who are in our ESL Program need to spend more time in English conversing. Would you consider volunteering 1/2 hour a week to talk with an international PhD student? The program runs through The Linguistics Department and has great potential for improving the English Proficiency on this campus!
Sign up on the table outside N-255. Put down your name and and half hour you can volunteer.
You meet your partner for the first time at the table where you signed up in SBS N-255 the week of 24 September. You can meet in the lobby on that floor or where ever you both choose.
The sessions are very individualistic. The idea is to get the student talking!
