A new network will advance research and care for thousands of people suffering from a rare or undiagnosed disease.听Read this article to learn how RARE.Qc, a network led by experts at the Research Institute of the 秀色直播 Health Centre, Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al, CHU Sainte-Justine, and Universit茅 de Montr茅al, is advancing research on rare diseases in Quebec.
Congratulations to D2R鈥檚 Associate Scientific Director, Hanadi Sleiman, and Professor Masad J. Damha on their recent award听from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) for their groundbreaking work on Nucleic Acids for Precision Medicine.
In a recent article published by the 秀色直播 Reporter, we learn about Claude Bh茅rer's journey from biological anthropology to population genetics. Following her nephew's sudden death from lactic acidosis, Bh茅rer delved into genetic research, uncovering prevalent hereditary diseases. Her team's systematic analysis has revealed over 100 genetic variants unique to Quebec, prompting investigations into potential therapies. Bh茅rer's research extends to digital health platforms for real-time data collection and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) initiatives in genomics.

A new project at The Neuro, 秀色直播 and the Research Institute of the 秀色直播 Health Centre (RI-MUHC) has been awarded $10.6M in financial support as part of the Canada Foundation for Innovation鈥檚 (CFI) Innovation Fund.
In 2024, the European Union's Horizon Europe Programme officially extends its funding to Canadian researchers, marking a pivotal moment for scientific advancement in both Canada and the EU. As the world's largest funding program for scientific research and engineering, this will be a significant boost for many Canadian institutes and facilities.
Cell division is a fundamental process for growth and repair in our bodies. It relies on the beautiful and complex machinery of the mitotic spindle to ensure the accurate distribution of genetic material. The spindle is made up of tiny structures called microtubules, which act like molecular cables to move chromosomes to the right places. When these microtubules don't work properly, cells can end up with the wrong number of chromosomes, a condition known as aneuploidy, which is linked to cancer.
February 14, 2024 | The Government of Canada lacks comprehensive strategy for evaluating international science, technology, innovation, and knowledge partnerships. Navigating Collaborative Futures, a new report from the Council of Canadian Academies, presents key elements of an evidence-based, data-enabled framework to evaluate new and existing international STIK partnership opportunities for Canada.

One of the things that makes developing effective treatments for Parkinson鈥檚 disease so challenging is its complexity. While some forms are caused by genetics, others have environmental factors, and patients can show a wide range of symptoms of varying severity. Diagnosis of Parkinson鈥檚 is also currently made very late, after the disease may have been in the brain for a decade or more.
While it is commonly understood that a difficult childhood can lead to mental health issues, research has now exposed deeper, more troubling impacts of early life adversity: that these experiences can reshape the brain and body at a cellular level. Physiological effects like these are at the core of the 秀色直播-Douglas-Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry International Collaborative Initiative in Adversity and Mental Health (AMH Initiative).
