CAN and CIHR-INMHA are very proud to announce the winners of the 2025 Brain Star awards. See all their profiles here: can-acn.org/congratulations-…

Thrilled to share our paper out today in @CellCellPress! Transcranial magnetic stimulation can effectively treat depression, but how? We uncovered cell type-specific plasticity driving these antidepressant effects 👇 cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

Excited to share my co-first-authored work on registering in vivo Ca2 imaging data to ex vivo transcriptomic and projection datasets, enabling the mapping of each cell’s functional coding to its genetic cell type: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898….

PhD: defended :))) Started in the OR as a surgical nurse, then found my way into neuroscience, today I can finally say I HAVE DEFENDED my PhD 🎓😎 Grateful to @SChenlab for his mentorship beyond science. Thanks to my advisory committee @JCBeique, @maximewc, and Dr. Tuan Bui 🙏

The University of Ottawa's Medicine research teams earn nationally competitive grants from Brain Canada! 🧠🔬 Congratulations to Drs. Simon Chen and Sara Tremblay who have earned “Momentum Grants”, awarded to scientists whose work demonstrates exceptional promise in accelerating discoveries that improve our understanding of the brain and, ultimately, transform patient care.

Congratulations Kang Shen of @StanfordBrain, newly inducted #NASmember! #NAS163 #neuroscience

It's an honor to receive this Momentum Grant from @BrainCanada And congrats to other recipients @rungtalab @BAmilhon :)

👏 🧠 Congratulations to Drs Sara Tremblay and Simon Chen from @uOttawaMed on receiving one of the 2026 Momentum Grants from @BrainCanada! @uOttawa

Excited about this project combining 2-photon imaging & spatial transcriptomics: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… Lead scientist: @jason_hc_yong Collaborator: @erdem___varol Video: memorylongevity.org Website: memorylongevity.org/merscope…

The Lippi lab is hiring a postdoctoral associate! We built new technologies to study post-transcriptional regulation in the healthy and diseased brain. We are recruiting motivated and talented scientists who will use these tools to discover new biology and new therapies.

Paper Alert🚨🚨🚨 Want to analyze your in vivo functionally characterized neurons with RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, immunolabeling, or ex vivo patch-clamp? Use our awesome 2P-NucTag approach! Great collab w/ @attila_losonczy & team, congrats to all. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Stoked to announce that I’m starting a lab as an Assistant Professor in the School of Biomedical Engineering and Centre for Brain Health at UBC! mcdiarmid-lab.sbme.ubc.ca Recruiting at all levels - please share the word! Cheers and happy long weekend all!

With the rumblings around CIHR wanting to move to one cycle per year not going away, in consultation with a diverse stakeholder group, we have put together a letter for CIHR leadership. Please consider signing this letter and share/RT: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… @canna_brain

add check out our work in M1. We also see this localized NA release, and the pattern of release actually changes with motor skill learning ;-) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Helping researchers turn breakthrough ideas into meaningful health innovations. 🧪💡 The University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine supports innovative research projects from our investigators as they seek to translate their most exciting ideas into new commercial applications. Designed to bridge the gap between discovery research and real-world application, University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine’s 3P grant supports early-stage health and biomedical innovations at a critical point—when promising ideas often struggle to advance toward patenting and commercialization. Over the past several years, 3P funding has played a pivotal role in helping Faculty researchers move beyond proof of concept. Discover how the 3P program is helping turn exciting research ideas into real-world health solutions ➡️ uottawa.ca/faculty-medicine/… @uOttawa

Kudos to the world-class researchers at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine on securing new funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR)! 🎉 Scientists at the Faculty of Medicine are driving discoveries that will enhance patient care, strengthen our health system, and help shape the future of medicine in Canada and beyond. 👏🔬
