Organization committee

The challenge is jointly organized by France Life Imaging (for methodological and technical resources) and the OFSEP French national cohort in MS (for data provision and medical expertise). The organization is based on three specific boards: a scientific advisory board, a technical board and a clinical advisory board.

Scientific advisory board currently appointed:

  • Christian Barillot (CNRS, Rennes)
  • Olivier Commowick (Inria, Rennes)
  • Charles Guttmann (OFSEP, Boston, MA)
  • Martin Styner (UNC, Chapel-Hill, NC)
  • Simon Warfield (Children’s Hospital, Boston, MA)

Technical board currently appointed:

  • Frederic Cervenansky (Université Claude Bernard, Lyon)
  • Tristan Glatard (CNRS, Lyon)
  • Audrey Istace (OFSEP, Lyon)
  • Michael Kain (FLI-IAM, Inria, Rennes)
  • Baptiste Laurent (FLI-IAM, Inserm, Brest)

Medical advisory board currently appointed:

  • Roxana Ameli (OFSEP, Lyon)
  • Francois Cotton (OFSEP, Lyon)
  • Jean-Christophe Ferré (OFSEP, Rennes)
  • Thomas Tourdias (OFSEP, Bordeaux)
