About our team

Dr. Farivar is the director of the Integrated Program in Neuroscience at McGill University. The Farivar lab uses neuroimaging technologies, such as MRI, to study the process of vision.

Alice is a PhD student at the IPN in Dr. Cecilia Flores' lab. She studies molecular mechanisms that may aid in early identification of adolescents at risk for developing mental disorders.

Sabine is a PhD student in the Dr. Jesper Sjöström Lab at the Montreal General Hospital, investigating the role of synaptic plasticity, i.e. the change in connectivity between neurons over time, in health and disease.

Hilary is a PhD student working with Dr. Xiaoqian Chai at the Montreal Neurological Institute. Her research focuses on the development of memory in individuals with and without autism.

Sophie is a master's student in the IPN studying under Dr. Madeleine Sharp at The Neuro. Her research investigates how the failure of chemical messenger systems in the brain affect cognition in people with early symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. The cognitive processes that we are studying are attention and learning from reward.

Jason is a PhD student at the IPN in Dr. Sylvain Baillet's lab. He studies individual differences in neural activity, our so called 'neural fingerprint', as well as the cognitive neuroscience of attention.

Nancy is a master's student in the IPN program under the supervision of Dr. Maryam Oskoui at the MUHC. Her thesis focuses on brain connectivity in children with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Teddy is a Master's student in the Kennedy Lab. His research focuses on the identification and regulation of cell-surface proteins involved in Alzheimer's disease.

Jiarui is a M.Sc student in the IPN studying under Dr. Judes Poirier at the Douglas. Her research focuses on finding novel biomarkers in the spinal fluid for the non-symptomatic phase of Alzheimer’s disease.
