Second Joint McGill–ZNZ Workshop: focus on Neurodevelopmental Disorders
This Workshop is the latest scientific event for the longstanding partnership between McGill University, The Neuro, and the Neuroscience Center Zurich (ZNZ).
Together, we are building a framework to promote and sustain neuroscience research collaborations in fields of mutual strategic interest. This workshop focuses on neurodevelopment and neurodevelopmental disorders.
