    $832,500

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $416,250

Project Overview

One of the frontiers in neuroscience is to understand the molecular dynamics of the brain functions. In addition to genetic and environmental modulation, the brain is also controlled by epigenetic mechanisms. These are chemical modifications of our genetic template that regulate gene activity in response to internal or external cues.…

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $763,125

Project Overview

Studies of genetic disorders are limited because of the lack of appropriate tissue samples from patients. A promising avenue to overcome this deficit is the recently described method of converting adult cells into inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSC)1, and differentiating them into desired cell types such as various types of…
