Mouse functional neurogenetics of rare diseases – Université de Montréal
Project Overview Since 2020, we have collaborated with a patient association with whom we have discovered new genetic variations in a gene that had never before been implicated in neurological diseases. We have access to patient cells and have generated numerous lossof- function models in this gene: KO mouse model, humanized mouse model, conditional KO…

The cellular secret of how memories are made, and lost
From: SickKids news Scientists use a peptide to strengthen connections between brain cells and restore memory in a pre-clinical model. Research led at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) is illuminating the mechanism underlying memory, which could result in future therapeutic targets for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is a condition…

MSc or PhD student: Vascular repair mechanisms following traumatic brain injury – University of Manitoba
Project description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) causes the loss of vascular cells and dysfunctional blood flow, which limits oxygen and nutrient support to the tissue. This exacerbates cell death and prevents the activation of neurorepair mechanisms involving neural stem cells (NSCs). Strategies to improve cerebral vascular repair have the potential to promote successful neuro-regeneration and…
