Timothy Friedman, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of British Columbia, is investigating the mechanisms through which DNA enables repair after injury in peripheral nerves but not the brain or spinal cord. Project Overview Timothy Friedman, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of British...

Amirhossein Jahani, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Montreal, uses intracranial EEG to investigate how network interactions during the preictal phase (i.e., period preceding a seizure) may contribute to seizure initiation and propagation. Project Overview Amirhossein Jahani, a...

The clock drawing test is a simple, familiar task — patients are asked to draw a clock — that doctors have used for decades to check for memory and thinking problems. Today it is usually scored only as a pass or fail, even though the drawing holds far richer clues about a person’s thinking skills....

Toxic amyloid proteins are known to be a significant contributing factor in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Project Overview Toxic amyloid proteins are known to be a significant contributing factor in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Abnormal clusters of protein fragments build up...

Although it is now known that miRNAs act in part via post-transcriptional effects on mRNA stability and/or translation to modulate gene expression, other molecular mechanisms by which non-coding RNAs may effect changes in mRNA and protein expression remains poorly elucidated. Project...
