The inaugural Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL) Research Day and Symposium took place on May 9 and 10, 2018. We welcomed over 280 participants to Research Day and 380 to the Symposium.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry invites you to Montreal, Canada, for the International Biotechnology Symposium and Exhibition on August听12-17,听2018. This 18th edition of the symposium is co-organized by the National Research Council of Canada, 成人VR视频, the University of Waterloo, and BIOTECanada.
听鈥 Deadline extended to May 11, 2018
As part of the听HBHL-Mitacs partnership, a special joint initiative has been organized to send students from 成人VR视频 to Chinese and Japanese academic institutions, and bring in students from these international universities to 成人VR视频.听听This is part of Mitacs' program. This program听provides awards valued at $6,000 CAD for travel and accommodation costs for Canadian students to undertake collaborative research projects at international institutions.
The Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL) initiative is happy to announce the launch of its Neuro-Innovation Fund. HBHL鈥檚 Neuro-Innovation Fund aims to close the gap between proof-of-concept research grants, and funding from traditional investors (angels, venture capitalist, institutional investors). The Fund will provide technology development grants to support further proof of principle and/or add value to new technologies or inventions related to the research themes of HBHL.
Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL), in conjunction with Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, is proud to announce the launch of its 2018 Graduate Student Fellowships competition.听 This competition aims to attract, train and retain top students at the graduate level from across disciplines and around the world to participate in interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral research training opportunities related to brain and mental health research, knowledge translation/mobilization and innovation.
Applications are due on April 20, 2018.
Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL) is a high profile, high priority multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral initiative located at 成人VR视频 made possible with support from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund (). The HBHL Strategic Research Plan outlines the vision, deliverables, and overall goals of the initiative, and the research priorities of its four research themes.
's investment of $150 million in 成人VR视频's Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL) and Western University's marks a pivotal step that will unlock the mysteries of the human mind and lay the groundwork for a pan-Canadian network of collaboration that promises to uncover new ways to treat, prevent and cure brain disorders.听
Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL)听emphasizes the training of highly qualified researchers, clinicians, and informaticians. This includes not only an excellence in research training, but also complementary training opportunities focused on professional skills. HBHL is proud to collaborate with SKILLSETS on a new听suite of professional development offerings specially-designed for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with an interest in neuroscience.
Training of highly qualified researchers, clinicians, and informaticians, is an important component of 成人VR视频鈥檚 Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL) initiative. Over the past year, HBHL鈥檚 training program has passed several important milestones.
Here are some of the highlights:
The Society for Neuroscience () course was spear-headed by , and included world-renowned experts in neuroinformatics showcasing their tools and datasets. Dr. JB Poline, a new MNI faculty member and HBHL hire, discussed the need for data publishing and the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform, as well as data and compute management software that will eventually comprise the backbone of NeuroHub - namely, CBRAIN and LORIS.
Initiated more than 10 years ago by a collaboration between the 成人VR视频 Centre for Integrative Neuroscience in Montreal, Canada and the J眉lich Research Centre in Germany, the BigBrain atlas is the highest-resolution 3D digital map of the human brain produced to date. The atlas was painstakingly reconstructed from 7404 separate sections of a human brain.
Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL), an $84M initiative located at 成人VR视频 and supported by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, and , a national, not-for-profit organization that designs and delivers research and training programs, have partnered to offer training and fellowship opportunities in Neuroscience and Neuroinformatics tailored to HBHL's goals and research priorities.听
In conjunction with 成人VR视频鈥檚 Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, the听Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives (HBHL) initiative听is proud to announce the launch of a new prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowships competition.听 This program aims to attract to 成人VR视频 talented post-doctoral fellows from around the world who are interested in cutting-edge interdisciplinary and translational research related to brain health and neuroinformatics.听It offers an attractive package including a stipend of CD$60,000 plus benefits (max. $70,800 per year) for up to two years.听
