  • Pittsburgh- London Film Program
    Pittsburgh- London Film Program Program Overview The Pittsburgh-London Film Program aims to provide students with a uniquely rich academic and cultural experience, combining the highest level of academic expertise with the world-class production skills of the Derek Jarman Lab. The courses take London as their focus, and each seeks to mix production with history and analysis. At all stages, the program combines theoretical academic analysis and detailed history of film with an emphasis on filmmaking practice. Each class provides students an inventive and rich configuration of seminars, weekly screenings, and practical film production. The courses seek to reject the division between theory and practice and provide teaching that articulates both. Masterclass Professors Adam Simon is a veteran of the Roger Corman film factory where he wrote and directed cult-classics Brain Dead (1990) and Carnosaur (1993), among others. He has written scripts for Oliver Stone, John Schlesinger, James Cameron, John Woo, Jackie Chan, and many others. He’s created miniseries and pilots for NBC, HBO, Showtime and USA networks, and Sony television, and directed and produced award-winning documentaries for BBC, Channel Four and the Independent Film Channel. His horror films includeBones - starring Snoop Dogg and Pan Grier - and The Haunting in Connecticut. He is also the creator and head writer of WGN’s TV series Salem. ENGFLM 1499 - Industry Insider: From Showrunner to Final Cut Two masterclasses over two separate weeks will be taught over the course of each term: Written in Disappearing Ink: Writing for the Screen(s) Adam Simon This class will consider the art, craft, business, and history of writing for the moving image, or better yet, writing for the screen(s).

  • James Barnor: ‘A Retrospective’
    Press Release 31 October 2019 Nubuke Foundation reopens on 23 November 2019 with photographic exhibition- James Barnor: ‘A Retrospective’ Nubuke Foundation is pleased to officially announce the reopening of its bespoke arts space and extended campus at its existing premises in East Legon, Accra, following two years of reconstruction. This is a milestone in the development of arts and cultural infrastructure in Ghana and West Africa. Designed by architects, Baerbel Mueller and Juergen Strohmayer, the space now comprises of 3 buildings with galleries, shops, meeting areas, a residency and studio space, library, visitors lounge and a mix of recreational areas. The highlight of the reopened space is the new naturally lit and airy two-tiered gallery with over 500sqm indoor and outdoor exhibition space, which connects to the indoors through majestic doorways, windows and vitrines with sweeping views across the city, luscious plantations and environs. Visitors can expect varied experiences through an exciting programme of exhibitions, performances, film screenings, talks and private events. In the past decade, Nubuke Foundation has quietly but boldly initiated many significant programmes to support the career of many young Ghanaian artists. This building project is a testament to our belief that Ghana has an incredible pool of talented creative people, and this space has been carefully and purposely recreated to spotlight them and their practice. Nubuke Foundation will continue to be ambitious, nurture and showcase the works of young Ghanaian artists whilst playing host to international exhibitions through our networks. Our focus will turn also to strengthening the capacity of our team so that we can continue to offer world class programming, inspire creatives, children and the community.

  • Editorial Current Molecular Medicine, 2012, Vol
    Editorial Current Molecular Medicine, 2012, Vol. 12, No. 4 355 EDITORIAL The Physiology and Pharmacology of the Mitochondrial 18 kDa Translocator Protein (TSPO): An Emerging Molecular Target for Diagnosis and Therapy The need for a focused issue covering the physiology and pharmacology of the Translocator Protein (TSPO) was in demand for quite some time; this to both summarize the current knowledge on this fascinating molecule and to boost interest in experimental biologists, pharmacologists and clinicians. The leading and most representative experts on the subject have therefore contributed with enthusiasm to its realization thus generating a memorable editorial occasion that besides collecting the exploited features of TSPO also shares original data to inspire future research angles of investigation. TSPO -formerly known as the Peripheral Benzodiazepine Receptor (PBR)- is an ubiquitous 18 kDa molecule on which the synthesis of steroids depends. Located on the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM), it is critical for the modulation of mitochondrial pathophysiology by standing -and possibly interacting with- the ‘putative’ molecules composing the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. TSPO binds cholesterol with great affinity, and similarly the endozapines as well as synthetic ligands such as: a) the benzodiazepine 4'-chlorodiazepam Ro5-4864 and b) the isoquinoline carboxamide PK11195. Although the latter, as you will learn in this issue, affects mitochondrial biology independently from its most acknowledged target. TSPO associates with the inflammatory states of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and positively correlates with tumor progression and malignancy besides playing a part in the pathophysiology of the kidney in which it defines the response to ischemia and reperfusion. Physiological and pathological processes linked to this protein range therefore from metabolism to inflammation, and cell death, making TSPO a prime element in cellular and systemic homeostasis.

  • Division of Imaging Sciences & Biomedical
    Division of Imaging Sciences & Biomedical Engineering Newsletter October 2015 Update from Head of Division “I would like to use my opportunity this month to mention research grants. Firstly to congratulate Mary Rutherford and Jo Hajnal on their $3 million NiH award: Structure and function of the placenta from implantation to delivery: a next generation MRI approach. The award was submitted in partnership with Columbia University alongside King’s Co-Investigators Paul Aljabar, Ralph Sinkus, Christina Malamateniou, Lucy Chappell and Dharmintra Pasupathy, in addition to colleagues from University College London and the University of Nottingham. This is a great achievement and I’m sure we will all congratulate the team on their hard work in securing this. In much earlier stages, we have also submitted an application to the Wellcome Trust to part-fund the purchase of a 7T scanner which the Division will host as part of a London consortium. And finally, the Wellcome Trust have invited us to submit an application to renew our Medical Engineering Centre. This would be an excellent opportunity to build on the successes of the last Centre which delivered many of the recruitments and infrastructure projects of the last few years. I will be having preliminary discussions with our academics and the application will be submitted in December.” Reza Razavi What’s happening in the Division?

  • TPG Exhibition List
    Exhibition History 1971 - present The following list is a record of exhibitions held at The Photographers' Gallery, London since its opening in January 1971. Exhibitions and a selection of other activities and events organised by the Print Sales, the Education Department and the Digital Programme (including the Media Wall) are listed. Please note: The archive collection is continually being catalogued and new material is discovered. This list will be updated intermittently to reflect this. It is for this reason that some exhibitions have more detail than others. Exhibitions listed as archival may contain uncredited worKs and artists. With this in mind, please be aware of the following when using the list for research purposes: – Foyer exhibitions were usually mounted last minute, and therefore there are no complete records of these brief exhibitions, where records exist they have been included in this list – The Bookstall Gallery was a small space in the bookshop, it went on to become the Print Room, and is also listed as Print Room Sales – VideoSpin was a brief series of worKs by video artists exhibited in the bookshop beginning in December 1999 – Gaps in exhibitions coincide with building and development worKs – Where beginning and end dates are the same, the exact dates have yet to be confirmed as the information is not currently available For complete accuracy, information should be verified against primary source documents in the Archive at the Photographers' Gallery. For more information, please contact the Archive at [email protected]
