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.

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/ For more information contact Dr. Katinka Stecina, mailto:Katinka.Stecina@umanitoba.ca All are Welcome to Attend Spinal Cord Research Centre Department of Physiology & Pathophysiology Max Rady College of Medicine Rady Faculty of Health Sciences University of Manitoba 745 Bannatyne Avenue Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada R3E 0J9 204-789-3770 ****************************************** [cid:image003.jpg@01D159B3.9F0B9710]<http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> [cid:image009.png@01D6CD43.5DF1A9F0]<https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> [cid:image010.jpg@01D6CD43.5DF1A9F0] <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> [cid:image011.png@01D6CD43.5DF1A9F0] <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>

Short Survey on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in Neuroscience
by info＠manitobaneuroscience.ca 03 Dec '20

03 Dec '20

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. https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7PXWZImUSzYplqZ 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 ****************************************** <http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> <https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>
