The Krembil Research Institute is holding its 17th annual Research Day on Wednesday, May 10, 2017. The event will feature innovative methods and the latest research advances from Krembil’s basic science, translational and clinical researchers. It will also be an opportunity to hear about trainees’ research achievements, as they showcase their work via poster and oral presentations. This year’s Research Day will be held at the Chestnut Residence and Conference Centre on 89 Chestnut Street.

The 2017 Research Day Keynote Speaker will be Dr. Eve Marder, Professor of Biology at Brandeis University. Dr. Marder’s research is focused on how groups of brain cells interact and communicate with each other through networks known as neural circuits. These neural circuits allow signals to be passed between distant parts of the body, a critical component of the central nervous system. She is particularly interested in how some neural circuits maintain a similar function over time despite ongoing changes to the brain cells that make them up.

All Krembil researchers, trainees and staff are welcome to attend the event. There is no registration fee, but you must complete online registration if you are planning to attend.

The deadline for general registration is Monday, May 1, 2017 at 4 pm.
