She completed her B.Sc. in Biochemistry in 2006 and Ph.D. in Pharmacology in 2012 at the University of Manitoba. She then moved to the University of Zurich in Switzerland for a postdoctoral position. Jills research is focussed on calcium signaling in two different brain cells: astrocytes and pericytes. She uses novel genetic tools and in vivo two-photon microscopy to study these cells with the aim of understanding the mechanisms that regulate calcium and the functional relevance of calcium signaling, particularly during synaptic modulation (astrocytes) and the regulation of blood flow (pericytes). Her work has been published in high impact journals, and she has received several awards including Heart and Stroke Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship and the CIHR Brain Star Award (2013).

PI’s, please share this email and my previous one with any students who are not on the MNN mailing list. Sari S. Hannila, PhD Director of Outreach, Manitoba Neuroscience Network outreach(a)manitobaneuroscience.ca Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics Seminar Series Thursday, September 27th , 2018 12:00 pm 071 Apotex Amanda Woerman Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases University of California, San Francisco T O P I C "Using cellular assays to identify disease-causing alpha-synuclein and tau strains” For more information contact: kjorund(a)sbrc.ca Dr. Matt Hill from the University of Calgary will be giving this year’s Zubec lecture in the Department of Psychology on September 28th at 3:00pm. This is our most popular event and will be rather busy. So please do plan to arrive a bit early and stay for the post talk wine and cheese. Matt will be available during the day for faculty meetings – if anyone hopes to be down at the Ft. Garry campus for his talk, please let me know ASAP. I’d like to accommodate anyone for shortly before his talk given the distance between campuses. Title: Endocannabinoids: Multi-modal regulators of the stress response. Abstract: Cannabis is a widely used recreational drug, for which the majority of users state that they use it to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. THC from cannabis exerts its effect via interactions with the endocannabinoid system. My research has sought to understand the neural mechanisms and circuits by which endocannabinoid signaling can influence stress responses and emotional behaviour, which in turn, can be helped to form a framework to understand how cannabis can modulate these processes. This seminar will detail the current state of knowledge regarding how endocannabinoid signaling influences stress-induced changes in neural activity to modulate neuroendocrine and behavioural outputs of the stress response.
