TBI Research Partnership
THE CANADA-ISRAEL COLLABORATION FOR BRAIN STUDIES
The BRC will host a group of visiting Israelis this Fall, who are coming to town to kick-off A Collaborative Research Partnership between Dalhousie University and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, known as:
THE CANADA-ISRAEL COLLABORATION FOR BRAIN STUDIES
This collaborative effort will help to close the knowledge gap in key areas of brain disorders by creating the opportunity for students and researchers at both institutions to collaborate and share knowledge, resources and data. The brain-health focused research programs at the universities examine similar topics, taking different approaches. By working together, they will create a knowledge base with greater breadth and depth and accelerate the rate of progress. Dalhousie and Ben-Gurion Universities have identified three key areas where their collaboration can have the greatest impact. These areas are Brain Injury, Motor and Balance Control, Neurodevelopment.
Join us on Thursday November 16th to meet these visitors from Ben-Gurion University, listen to presentations from both Universities on their research, join the conversation about collaborative research and hear what the partnership will bring to Dalhousie.
Location: BRC Boardroom, 3rd Floor, LSRI, 1348 Summer St.
(Evening presentations and posters will be in the LSRI Atrium).
