Western Research Represented at HBHL Symposium

May 07, 2025 BY AMANDA TACCONE

BrainsCAN supported researchers shared the details of their most recent work at the Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives (HBHL) Symposium held at McGill University in Montreal this week.

Marco Prado, PhD, from Western University, and Mallar Chakravarty, PhD, from McGill University, discussed their ongoing research on early biomarkers for development and monitoring of effective disease-modifying therapies.

Their work is one of several Initiative for Translational Neuroscience (ITN) joint projects bringing together Western and McGill researchers, supported by BrainsCAN grants.

A panel conversation about other ongoing ITN projects, moderated by Western University’s Lisa Saksida, PhD, included McGill’s Boris Bernhardt, PhD, Christopher Pack, PhD, and Thomas Durcan, PhD, and Western’s Jonathan Lau, PhD, and Lyle Muller, PhD.

Western’s Marieke Mur, PhD, also joined a panel of McGill and CAMH researchers for a discussion of the future of the field of computational neuroscience.
