HBHL's annual Research Day is designed to showcase the research of trainees (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) who are working in areas related to HBHL's goals and priorities.

Presentations will be given by HBHL Fellows as well as trainee representatives from partnering institutions: BrainsCAN/Western University and IVADO. The event will also include two keynote presentations by world-leading experts in the field of neuroscience. Online, interactive Q&A with presenters will be available. All trainees, faculty and staff with an interest in brain health are encouraged to attend.

Research Day is organized by the HBHL Trainee Committee. For more information about Research Day, please hbhl.trainees [at] mcgill.ca (contact the HBHL Trainee Committee).
