Project Overview

Neuroinflammation has been implicated in a diverse array of degenerative conditions, ranging from Multiple Sclerosis  to  Alzheimer’s  disease.  Dr. Gros and team previously  uncovered genes  that  can  prevent  neuroinflammation  and provide new opportunities for drug discovery for a variety of clinical indications. Here, they propose to specifically inhibit the ubiquitin-specific…

Project Overview

Dr. Garzia works on a type of pediatric brain cancer called medulloblastoma. Kids affected by this tumor are either not cured or experience severe side effects due to the aggressive therapy. This proposal explores a possible causative link between altered neural activity and brain tumors. The team hypothesizes that altered…

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $50,000

Project Overview

Optogenetic strategies - the ability to activate normally light-insensitive neurons with light - are being used in clinical trials to restore light sensitivity to the retina of vision impaired patients. In normally sighted individuals, before visual signals reach the brain, the retina uses its complex circuitry to parse the visual…

Project Overview

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease where the immune system attacks the brain and spinal cord. The resulting disability can range from vision loss in one eye or complete paralysis. After years of suffering from this disease, most people enter a phase called progressive MS where available treatments are no…
