DMCBH Open Science Initiative Town Hall

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Developing infrastructure and initiatives that promote open science and data sharing is an important part of advancing research. In line with this, Dr. Paul Pavlidis has secured a grant from the Tanenbaum Open Science Institute to gauge interest in and develop principles that would eventually see the DMCBH declared an Open Science Institute. This would […]

He Tian candidate presentation

Rudy North Lecture Theatre, Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health 2215 Wesbrook Mall, Vancouver

Please note this event is postponed until 12:00pm due to flight delays. The brain encodes and processes information through the dynamic membrane voltage of neurons. However, in vivo electrophysiology, i.e., the study of the membrane voltage of individual cells in live animals, has been a major challenge for neuroscience. In this seminar, I will present […]
