    $50,000

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $25,000

Project Overview

Dr. David and his research team are studying the mechanisms that control the delivery and release of iron in the nervous system. Iron is required for the survival and functioning of nerve cells. However, too much iron can cause damage to nerve cells. Their work has an impact on our…

Project Overview

Although the spinal cord contains all the circuitry necessary for locomotion, due to the absence of commands from the brain, people with spinal cord injuries are unable to walk. Motor recovery can be partially achieved by strategies or therapies intended to regenerate axons from the brain to the spinal cord.…

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $25,000

Project Overview

Dr. Scott and his research team focus on how feedback to the primary motor cortex, which is a key region in the brain for voluntary control, interacts with spinal activity. This will enable them to understand how sensory feedback from the limb (and vision) is essential while performing voluntary motor…

    $105,000

  • Health Canada Contribution

    $52,500

Project Overview

The main goal of my project is to further characterize the role of Wnt signalling in glioma progression. One objective will be to delineate the Wnt receptor complex important in this context. Indeed, ten FZD receptors and at least 5 co-receptors have been shown to act to transduce Wnt signals.…
