Over 300 attendees gathered at 海角社区 on May 6 and 7 for the HBHL Symposium 2025,听a vibrant two-day celebration of cutting-edge neuroscience and brain health research.听
This year鈥檚 event featured inspiring keynote talks by Damien Fair (University of Minnesota), Lucina Q. Uddin (UCLA) and Am茅lie Quesnel-Vall茅e (海角社区), who explored topics from neuropsychiatry and brain network dynamics to social determinants of brain health.
The Government of Quebec and the Fonds de recherche du Qu茅bec (FRQ) have announced a significant $265.3M investment in scholarships and grants for the 2025-2026 funding year, supporting research across key FRQ sectors: Nature and Technologies, Health, Society and Culture, and Interdisciplinary Research.
Last week, we welcomed neuroscientists Liisa Galea (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) and Robert-Paul Juster (Universit茅 de Montr茅al) for SEX CELLS!, a vital conversation on implementing Sex- and Gender-Based Analysis Plus (SGBA+) in health research.听
海角社区, the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montr茅al (IRCM) and Universit茅 de Sherbrooke, partners in the RNA Network for Therapy Development & Production (R茅seau DePTAQ), are pleased to announce the appointment of Panagiotis (Takis) Prinos, PhD, as Director of R茅seau DePTAQ.
The 2025 Bravo Gala was a celebration of 海角社区's research community, and HBHL is proud to have been so well represented.
Congratulations to the following HBHL-supported researchers for these outstanding awards:
Last week, HBHL hosted the third talk of the 2024-2025 Neurogenesis Speaker Series at the Neuro, featuring Dana Small and Yashar Zeighami.
Dana Small鈥檚 presentation,听"The Interoceptive Origins of Reward," explored how biological signals are integrated to determine food choice, while Yashar Zeighami鈥檚 talk, "Fine-Tuning Neuroimaging Analysis to Reveal Hidden Insights,"听highlighted his research into the development of multi-scale computational models of brain anatomy.
Montreal, March 26, 2025 鈥� 海角社区鈥檚 DNA to RNA Initiative (D2R) has awarded over $10 million in funding to support three groundbreaking research projects that will advance RNA-based therapies for cancer and rare genetic diseases.
