Brain Canada program supports paradigm-shifting neuroscience that improves the lives of Canadians
Four researchers at The Neuro — Boris Bernhardt, Yasser Iturria-Medina, Jean-Francois Poulin, and Jo Anne Stratton — have received grants to support their work in the early-career stage, after being chosen from 150 talented applicants.
Brain Canada’s Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research Program, anchored by a $5M gift from the Azrieli Foundation, enables paradigm-changing research of the brain to improve the lives of all Canadians.
Work will tell us how loneliness interacts with brain structure and function in normal aging and pre-symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease
Two researchers from The Neuro, with collaborators from the StoP-AD Centre at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute and the Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute, will lead a research program centered on an emerging field of neuroscience thanks to a grant from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Aging (NIH/NIA) in the USA.
Study identifies rapidly dividing cancer stem cells that can respond to new therapies
Brain cancers have long been thought of as being resistant to treatments because of the presence of multiple types of cancer cells within each tumor. A new study uncovers a cancer cell hierarchy that originates from a single cancer cell type, which can be targeted to slow cancer growth.

The Research Associate will work independently and be responsible for leading experimental research projects in the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience lab, under the supervision of Dr. Xiaoqian Chai. His/her work will include: (1) Lead a new research project which applies neuroimaging and genetic analyse on large open-source pediatric data biobanks, and (2) Lead the experimental research team to implement a multimodal imaging project on memory development in autism.
Specific duties include:
Design, build, and manage MySQL and CouchDB databases, including a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) database, for members of the PI laboratory and other projects/collaborators.
Develop and implement web-based interfaces (php, perl-CGI) of these databases, integrate user requirements in terms of on-line queries and analytical tools.
Setup and maintenance of a web server to host databases and their web interfaces
