The Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics was pleased to launch a new Speaker Series highlighting exciting discoveries, advancements and collaborations in Neuroinformatics.
The series features speakers from a wide range of backgrounds, expressing the diversity of the Krembil Centre’s scientific breadth. Each month we will hear a new perspective on the current state of multi-scale neuroscience, from gene to circuits, from brain dynamics to cognitive modeling and populations.

At the Krembil Centre for Neuroinformatics, we work in an open, team science environment—with an emphasis on reproducible and accessible results.
Our centre is designed to foster collaboration, spark conversations and drive convergence.
Our team employs machine learning, artificial intelligence and computational modeling to integrate and analyze data across scales, including genomics, proteomics, electrophysiology, brain imaging, mobile and wearables, demographics, and environmental data. Teams collaboratively conduct multi-scale modelling studies to bridge the various levels of structure and function in the brain—from genes to circuits to behaviour, including wakefulness and sleep.

The Krembil Centre was proud to celebrate its one year anniversary with an all-day event to celebrate its one-year anniversary.
With opening remarks from Dr. Catherine Zahn, Deborah Gillis, Dr. Bruce Pollock, and Dr. Damian Jankowicz, the event included a Keynote from Dr. Etienne Sibille and presentations from the Centre's Scientists, trainees and informatics team.
Presenters focused on how their work is having an impact and how they would use knowledge translation to ensure research findings would be taken up in practice.
We had great feedback from across our community. We thank everyone who has supported us thus far and sincerely hope that next year we are able to host our colleagues in the Centre.
