More than 70 scientists have joined UHN’s Canada Leads initiative, a global recruitment program aiming to bring 100 researchers to Canada. The initiative is designed to shape the future of research and strengthen talent for health innovation. Read more: https://bit.ly/4w3UkIu

🎉 My final PhD paper is out in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! We modelled spinal receptive fields to explore how spatiotemporally diverse tactile stimuli are processed, what goes wrong in #allodynia, and how #spinalcordstimulation combats it. 🔗 www.jneurosci.org/content/46/1... 🧵👇

Join me this Tuesday at @kcnhub.bsky.social, where I’ll be sharing new computational insights into how the spinal cord processes complex touch—and what this reveals about allodynia and spinal cord stimulation. 🕔 Nov 25th 9:30-11am 📍 Krembil Brain Institute (@uhnresearch.ca) 🔗 tinyurl.com/287wdypa

Check out our new review/perspective (w/ @juangallego.bsky.social & Devika Narain) on neural manifolds in the brain! It was a lot of fun to think through these ideas over the past couple of years, and I'm excited it's finally out in the world! 🔗: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📄: rdcu.be/ex8hW

My first-ever 1st author paper is now on bioRxiv 🙂 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Special thanks to my masters supervisor Steve Prescott! Also with @lauramedlock.bsky.social , @cdedek.bsky.social & more

Probably my favourite work of my PhD out now on #bioRxiv 🎯

"Denial that certain diversities exist or banning the use of terminologies and classifications along spectrums does not negate the reality of personal identity and the underlying neurobiology". Thank you @iasp.bsky.social and @karenddavis.bsky.social 🧪#PainResearch journals.lww.com/pain/fulltex...

Very excited to share our new preprint: "Decreased KCC2 expression in the human spinal dorsal horn associated with chronic pain and long-term opioid use" led by @oliviadavis.bsky.social and Samuel Ferland, a collab between us, Yves De Koninck and Mike Hildebrand labs www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In-depth article on chronic pain, with my friend @robgereau.bsky.social and Allan Basbaum heavily interviewed as scientists studying pain: ‘We die in pain, we don’t die of pain.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/m...

Latest work out of the Prescott Lab on #pain sensitivity in different (nociceptive vs. non-nociceptive) afferents. 🔦

Out now in @sfnjournals.bsky.social! 👋 Our latest work on #touch and vibration sensing in rodent #mechanoreceptors. A beautiful experimental and computational collaboration thanks to the whole Prescott Lab team. www.jneurosci.org/content/44/4...
