The Institute for Magnetic Resonance Safety, Education, and Research (IMRSER) was formed in response to the growing need for information and research on matters pertaining to magnetic resonance (MR) safety. The IMRSER is the first independent, multidisciplinary, professional organization devoted to promoting awareness, understanding, and communication of MR safety issues through education and research. Mission Statement To promote awareness and understanding of MR safety, To disseminate information regarding current and emerging MR safety issues, To develop and provide materials and resources to facilitate MR safety-related education and training, To respond to critical MR safety issues with a sense of urgency, and To advance the field of MR safety through support of scientific research. Functions and activities of the IMRSER include development of up-to-date MR safety materials and dissemination of this information to the MR community. This is accomplished predominantly through the efforts of the Advisory Boards. Members of the Advisory Boards of the Institute for Magnetic Resonance Safety, Education, and Research (IMRSER) are charged with creating recommendations, guidelines, position papers, and educational materials pertaining to existing or emerging MR safety issues. This is achieved by utilizing the pertinent peer-reviewed literature and by relying on each members extensive clinical, research, or other appropriate experience. Notably, documents developed by the IMRSER incorporate MR safety guidelines and recommendations created by the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), the American College of Radiology (ACR), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), the Medical Devices Agency (MDA), the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and other similar organizations. The IMRSERs rigorous development and review process for MR safety documents ensures that authoritative and relevant information is produced in a timely manner for rapid dissemination to the MR community. The MR safety information is provided to MR healthcare professionals and others as hard copy and electronic publications. Additionally, this information is posted on the IMRSER web site as well as on www.MRIsafety.com (currently with over 92,000 registered users). The Institute for Magnetic Resonance Safety, Education, and Research permits all members of the MR community to use the MRI Safety Guidelines posted on this web site. Please be sure to read and understand our disclaimer.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 6, 2016. A publicly accessible data repository to provide neuroscience investigators with secure access to cohort collections. The Databank collects and disseminates gene expression data from microarray experiments on brain tissue samples, along with diagnostic results from postmortem studies of neurological and psychiatric disorders. All of the data that is derived from studies of the HBTRC collection is being incorporated into the National Brain Databank. This data is available to the general public, although strict precautions are undertaken to maintain the confidentiality of the brain donors and their family members. The system is designed to incorporate MIAME and MAGE-ML based microarray data sharing standards. Data from various types of studies conducted on brain tissue in the HBTRC collection will be available from studies using different technologies, such as gene expression profiling, quantitative RT-PCR, situ hybridization, and immunocytochemistry and will have the potential for providing powerful insights into the subregional and cellular distribution of genes and/or proteins in different brain regions and eventually in specific subregions and cellular subtypes.

Tools for the integration of data from various sources (public and confidential), for the generation and validation of computer models for toxic effects, libraries for the development and seamless integration of new algorithms, and scientifically sound validation routines. The goal of OpenTox is to develop an interoperable predictive toxicology framework which may be used as an enabling platform for the creation of predictive toxicology applications. OpenTox is relevent for users from a variety of research areas: Toxicological and chemical experts (e.g. risk assessors, drug designers, researchers) computer model developers and algorithm developers non specialists requiring access to Predictive Toxicology models and data OpenTox applications can combine multiple web services providing users access to distributed toxicological resources including data, computer models, validation and reporting. Applications are based on use cases that satisfy user needs in predictive toxicology. OpenTox was initiated as a collaborative project involving a combination of different enterprise, university and government research groups to design and build the initial OpenTox framework. Additionally numerous organizations with industry, regulatory or expert interests are active in providing guidance and direction. The goal is to expand OpenTox as a community project enabling additional expert and user participants to be involved in developments in as timely a manner as possible. To this end, our mission is to carry out developments in an open and transparent manner from the early days of the project, and to open up discussions and development to the global community at large, who may either participate in developments or provide user perspectives. Cooperation on data standards, data integration, ontologies, integration of algorithm predictions from different methods, and testing and validation all have significant collaboration opportunities and benefits for the community. OpenTox is working to meet the requirements of the REACH legislation using alternative testing methods to contribute to the reduction of animal experiments for toxicity testing. Relevant international authorities (e.g., ECB, ECVAM, US EPA, US FDA) and industry organizations participate actively in the advisory board of the OpenTox project and provide input for the continuing development of requirement definitions and standards for data, knowledge and model exchange. OpenTox actively supports the development and validation of in silico models and algorithms by improving the interoperability between individual systems (common standards for data and model exchange), increasing the reproducibility of in silico models (by providing a quality source of structures, toxicity data and algorithms) and by providing scientifically sound and easy-to-use validation routines. OpenTox is committed to the support and integration of alternative testing methods using in vitro assay approaches, systems biology, stem cell technology, and the mining and analysis of human epidemiological data. Hence the framework design must take into account extensibility to satisfy a broad range of scientific developments and use cases.
