Research Overview Created in 2003, the Neurophysics group takes its roots in research groups issued from internationally recognized health institutions (CRULRG) and university research centers (McGill, COPL). We thrive towards setting new frontiers in Neuroscience by:
- Bringing together scientists from highly diversified disciplines (medicine, physics, biology, chemistry...)
- Providing the highest ethical, technical and scientific standards and expertise to the students that will form the workforce of tomorrow
- Conducting research at the fundamental and applied level at the interface of these sciences, to get a better understanding of neurons and their operation
- Developing new biomedical characterization tools that will be minimally invasive
The Neurophysics research teams regroup at this time 11 faculty members, 7 post-doctoral fellows and 20 graduate students covering research at the interface between neurobiology, physics, optics, chemistry, materials science and nanotechnology. Additional faculties and students will join us in Spring 2006 following the opening of our new Neurophotonics Center. Current research facilities are located at McGill University (Montreal, Canada), the COPL at Université Laval and at the CRULRG at the Robert-Giffard hospital. A state-of-the-art Neurophotonics Center currently under construction will add 23 new laboratories and a clean room and will be housed in the same hospital. This new addition is scheduled to be fully opened at the beginning of Spring 2006.
Our current research focus are listed in the Topics section.
We are continuously seeking collaborations that would benefit expanding the frontiers in Neuroscience. Please do not hesitate to contact one of our experts or our coordinator for more information! |
