The Neuro Team

This research group is dedicated to the study and promotion of nerve cell survival. Neuroscientists investigate mechanisms of nerve cell death occurring as a result of stroke, epilepsy, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Centre for Neuronal Survival is composed of research laboratories with expertise in (1) cellular neurobiology, a research approach that studies how nerve cells develop and undergo repair following injury, and (2) molecular neurobiology, which studies the expression of genes that direct nerve cell function.
