Welcome to the Neurophysics research program website,
the first in Canada at the interface between Neurosciences,
Materials Sciences and Photonics.

Neurophysics research program. Laval University. Quebec. CanadaProgress in our understanding of neurons and their operation critically depends on our ability to improve our resolution of dynamic molecular mechanisms and on the availability of appropriate tools for real-time studies in live cells. The solution resides in using the latest advances in the fields of Photonics and Material Sciences to develop new biomedical characterization tools that will be minimally invasive.To this aim, we established an active interdisciplinary collaboration between physicists, engineers and neuroscientists from three research centers and two universities: the Centre de recherche Institut Universitaire en Santé Mental de Québec (CRIUSMQ, Neurosciences), the Centre d'Optique, Photonique et Laser (COPL, Photonics) at Laval University and the Center for the Physics of Materials (CPM, Materials Science) at McGill University.

Biophotonics and Neuroscience Career Day

The first edition of the Neurolinks career day will take place Thursday May 16th in the afternoon, at the CRIUSMQ (2601, chemin de la Canadière, Quebec - MAP).

The goal is to allow networking between biophotonic and neuroscience trainees and representatives of companies specialized in these domains.

The schedule of the day is here.
