Neuroscience

This is a group of basic scientists and clinicians conducting neuroscience-related research at the University of Saskatchewan. Brought together to share contiguous laboratory and office space within the new Academic Health Sciences Complex, as a team, the group is making great progress in understanding what causes certain brain disorders and how best to treat patients who suffer from these brain disorders. The group has dedicated, passionate people working in the areas of mental health and psychiatric disorders, stroke, epilepsy, neurodegenerative disorders, traumatic brain injury, brain cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, pain and diabetes.  This research is translational in nature, and the ultimate goal is to improve human health, one patient at a time.
