TOPIC: Novel roles for netrin-1 and DCC regulating myelination and
synaptic plasticity in the CNS
Timothy E Kennedy, PhD
Professor Dept of Neurology and Neurosurgery
Montreal Neurological Institute McGill University
Dr. Kennedy's laboratory is investigating the molecular mechanisms that
direct neural development and how such mechanisms influence the
organization and plasticity of the mature mammalian central nervous
system. These studies aim to identify the biochemical signals that
direct cells and axons to move, as well as the target-derived signals
that instruct them to stop once they reach their goal and to make
appropriate connections with neighboring cells.

Dear All,
I want to thank all participants for making the 2012 Manitoba Neuroscience Network meeting another success. A poster competition was held. All submitted abstracts were ranked by a panel of 4 principal investigators. The top 6 in each of the student and postdoc categories were chosen for in-person judging in poster form at the meeting yesterday. I am pleased to announce that the winners are as follows:
STUDENT CATEGORY WINNER: Esteli Vasquez-Dominguez, Spinal Cord Research Centre
STUDENT CATEGORY RUNNER-UP: Amrit Boese, Public Health Agency of Canada
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW CATEGORY WINNER: Dr. Amit Kamboj, St. Boniface Hospital Research
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW CATEGORY RUNNER-UP Dr. Ali Saleh, St. Boniface Hospital Research
Thanks to all judges and participants.
