This award is given to the highest ranking Brain Star Award of the year. Brain Star awards are given by the Institutes of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction of the CIHR and are designed to recognize the excellence of research done in Canada by students and trainees in all fields and disciplines covered by the Institute.
Marc Bergeron shares this prize with Martin Gagnon, co-first author of the prized article in Nature Medicine (Gagnon, Bergeron, et al.). Marc is pictured here with Yves De Koninck, under whose supervision this work was done, and Sam David, President of the Canadian Association for Neuroscience.
Francesco Ferrini, another trainee in the Yves De Koninck’s laboratory, was recognized as one of the top three Brain Star awardees, for an article published in Nature Neuroscience (Ferrini, Trang et al.). This prize was shared with Tuan Trang, co-first author of the publication.
Both Bergeron and Ferrini were invited by the CIHR to present their research at the 8th Annual Canadian Association for Neuroscience meeting.
