DESCRIPTION:Come meet HBHL-supported Faculty! \n\nWednesday\, April 15\, 20
 26\n	4:30–6:30 p.m. (includes a one-hour reception)\n\nGet ready for the la
 st EVER edition of Neurogenesis! Get to know HBHL-supported faculty recrui
 ts firsthand\, learn about their research\, ask questions and network with
  your peers during the post-event reception.\n\nEach event in this series 
 features two HBHL faculty recruits whose research areas provide an interes
 ting contrast or intersection for discussion.\n\nApril Speakers: \n\n\n	Nic
 olas Tritsch - 'Defining dopamine’s role in movement'\n	Stephanie Zandee - 
 “A multi modular approach to characterize multiple sclerosis brain patholo
 gy in rapid autopsy brain tissue”\n	Q&A moderated by HBHL Scientific Direct
 or Alan Evans\n\n\nSecure your spot today!\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nNicolas Tritsc
 h\, PhD\n\nDr. Tritsch is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psyc
 hiatry at the Douglas Research Centre and McGill University. After graduat
 ing from McGill with a BSc in immunology and an MSc in neuroscience\, he o
 btained a PhD in neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University\, completed a 
 postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School\, and began his independ
 ent career at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine\, where 
 he explored how dopamine modulates the activity of brain circuits that con
 trol voluntary movements in health and disease. His laboratory relocated t
 o the Douglas Research Centre in 2024\, with the goal of deepening our und
 erstanding of neuromodulatory signalling in mental health disorders. Dr. T
 ritsch’s research uses a variety of optical\, genetic and physiological ap
 proaches in rodents to reveal how the mammalian brain learns and motivates
  action. \n\nStephanie Zandee\, PhD\n\n\n	Dr. Stephanie Zandee obtained a B
 Sc in Molecular Life Sciences and a MSc in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease
  at the Radboud University Nijmegen (The Netherlands). She moved to the Un
 iversity of Edinburgh to carry out a PhD in the labs of Dr. Stephen Andert
 on and Dr. Anna Williams\, focusing on regulatory T cells in Multiple Scle
 rosis pathology. She continued her research in the lab of Dr. Alexandre Pr
 at at the CrCHUM in Montreal\, where she investigated the blood-brain barr
 ier in MS. Dr. Zandee has been extensively trained in MS neuropathology an
 d coordinated the Prat lab brain bank and autopsy program for eight years.
  Dr. Zandee has started her own research group at the Montreal Neurologica
 l Institute (The Neuro)\, McGill University\, as of July 2024. The Zandee 
 lab is focusing on understanding MS lesion pathology at a single cell leve
 l using rapid autopsy derived tissue\, with a specific focus on the role o
 f the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-37 and regulatory T cells using machin
 e learning approaches.\n\n\n\n
