Kimberly Dougherty, PhD
Associate Professor
Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy
Drexel University College of Medicine
Philadelphia, PA
"Locomotor Circuit Plasticity after SCI: Insights Gained from
Molecularly-Defined Spinal Interneurons"
Research Profile: Kim Dougherty received her PhD in Neuroscience from Emory
University in 2006. Her thesis research in Shawn Hochman's lab determined
the properties of inhibitory dorsal horn neurons involved in pain processing
and plasticity that occurs after spinal cord injury. Her postdoctoral work
in Ole Kiehn's lab at the Karolinska Institute was focused on spinal
locomotor circuits and she developed an interest in locomotor rhythm
generation. She started her lab at Drexel University College of Medicine in
Philadelphia in 2014, where she continues to probe spinal circuitry with a
focus on rhythm generation and more recently, mechanisms of therapies (and
potential therapies) to enhance locomotion after spinal cord injury.

Primary Investigator; Associate Professor,
Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy
Drexel University College of Medicine
Philadelphia, PA
"Spinal Cord Injury, Plasticity and Spinal interneurons"
Research Profile: Michael began research in spinal cord injury during his undergraduate research at the
University of Tasmania. After graduating with Bachelor of Science (Hons), Michael completed his PhD with
Norman Saunders at the University of Melbourne. In 2005, he began postdoctoral training at the
Universities of Melbourne and Florida (with David Howells and Paul Reier, respectively), before accepting a
non-tenure track position at the University of Florida in 2009. After receiving funding from the National
Institute of Health (R01) in 2012, Michael accepted a position with the Spinal Cord Research Center at
Drexel University to continue his research into spinal cord injury, neuroplasticity and strategies to optimize
repair and lasting functional recovery. Now an Associate Professor, funded by the NIH and research
foundations, Michael is actively pursuing cell therapies and rehabilitative strategies to promote recovery of
breathing after cervical spinal cord injury. http://www.spinalrepair.org/cover-page/

Dear Manitoba Neuroscience Community,
The MNN is a full participant in the process of forging a Canadian Brain
Research Strategy (CBRS; www.canadianbrain.ca <http://www.canadianbrain.ca>
) to serve as Canada's nationalized brain research vision, and integrate
with other national/regional plans and the International Brain Initiative
(www.internationalbraininitiative.org
<http://www.internationalbraininitiative.org> ). MNN director, Dr. Anderson,
is a member of the team of institute leaders from across Canada, which
guides the CBRS under the leadership of Drs. Yves De Koninck (Laval) and
Judy Illes (UBC), and several of our members have participated in focused
strategy discussions as early career investigators. MNN will continue to
invite its members to participate in the CBRS activities. We will also
communicate important information so we can all understand what is happening
on a national scale. CBRS was recently awarded a $1.5 million CIHR grant to
create a formalized structure, with dedicated CBRS Executive Director. This
will accelerate the initiative significantly.
One of the foundational pillars that will drive all CBRS activities is a
commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. In order to take this lead
internationally, CBRS needs to understand who works in neuroscience now. A
short survey has been created. It takes less than 3 minutes. Please complete
it if you work in neuroscience research in Manitoba. Not only will that help
with EDI, but it will also help ensure that Manitoba is not under-counted in
terms of our contribution to the national community. Faculty, Trainees and
staff are ALL ENCOURAGED to complete the survey.

The password is: CBRSEDI!
Thank you. We look forward to making our contribution to helping Canada
forge a comprehensive neuroscience research strategy.
Please forward this message to anyone working in neuroscience who was not
captured by this email list, and ask them to contact
info(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca <mailto:info@manitobaneuroscience.ca> to join
the list.
-The MNN Team
