Hi! Our lab investigates what regulates CNS myelin development, damage & regeneration with implications for neurological conditions e.g. MS, AD and cognitive decline. Using 'omics, transgenics & human neuropath. Focus on immune-glial interactions. Soft spot for microglia & women/ diversity in STEM.

Canadian researchers should be aware the there is a motion before the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Science and Research to force Tricouncils to hand over disaggregated peer review data on all applications:
Applicant names, profiles, demographics
Reviewers names, profiles, comments, and scores

I hope this Nobel Prize gets people talking meaningfully about our amazing immune systems and the importance of basic research to human health (and funding basic research).

I am also glad young women get to see that women can not only work at this level, but that those who do can get recognized.

I can save Carney heaps—start with NFRF, CERC & the global innovation clusters.

DON’T touch tricouncil funding.
This would be the worst ROI & catastrophic for 🇨🇦’s research, innovation, training & economic development & growth.

Canada plans a 15% budget cut. Scientists are alarmed
