Project Overview

Current preclinical models to address neurological disorders fail to accurately portray human physiology. First, traditional tissue culture in which neuronal cells are grown in monolayer do not recapitulate the complex heterogeneity and function of the human brain. Second, animal models such as rodents lack many specific biological features unique to…

Project Overview

Thanks to the late Dr. William Feindel’s vision, who in the 1970’s believed that brain imaging was the “future for neurology and neurosurgery”, and to a generous donation, the Montreal Neurological Institute (The Neuro) inaugurated the McConnell Brain Imaging Center (BIC) in 1984. This pioneering landmark was preceded (and followed)…

Project Overview

Need for project: Replication repair deficiency (RRD) is a genetic condition that significantly increases the risk of developing cancer, particularly early in life. Gliomas are the most common brain tumour seen in children and young adults (CAYA), and occur frequently in RRD. Currently, the prevalence of RRD has not been…
