W/ the help of ALS Canada and Brain Canada, Drs. Lee and Youn are using advanced technology to identify new ways proteins interact within a motor neuron. This #research is laying the groundwork for the discovery of targets for solutions for #ALS patients ➡️bit.ly/3tUTYpJ




"This approach is potentially game-changing," says Dr. Fasano from UHN's @C_R_A_N_I_A UHN researchers at Krembil Brain Institute develop an approach to better tailor deep brain stimulation to patients' needs to help with conditions, such as Parkinson's disease. More → bit.ly/3P3ZH3z



Some behind-the-scenes photos of Sean Nuttall (and #TemertyMed Prof. Graham Collingridge) as he takes off on his record-breaking swim in support of Tanz Centre at University of Toronto!


In support of Tanz Centre at University of Toronto, Sean Nuttall swam 100km across Lake Ontario in 42 hours. He became only the second person to achieve a double-crossing. Read more about Sean's story & why he did the swim in memory of his father in this The Globe and Mail piece tgam.ca/3q5RUIR
