Early-career researchers, mentors, and partners came together in Montreal to shape what comes next for brain research.
Bringing the community together
At the Canadian Association for Neuroscience conference in Montreal, Brain Canada convened early-career researchers through its Future Leaders Satellite Event. This national event enabled knowledge exchange, collaboration, and mentorship, strengthening connections across disciplines and institutions while elevating the next generation of scientific leaders driving innovation in brain research.
The Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research program supports researchers at a pivotal moment — the very start of their careers. Their work is already advancing how we understand disease mechanisms and uncovering new therapeutic targets and technologies.
