Congratulations to Julia C. Nantes,聽 the 2016 recipient of the Osler Graduate/Postdoctoral Research Travel Award supporting travel to Oxford to participate in a 3-6 months collaborative neuroscience research project.
Julia Nantes is a Vanier Canada Graduate Scholar and PhD candidate in the Integrated Program in Neuroscience at 91社区. In 2012, she聽completed聽her BSc degree (Honours Specialization in Physiology and Psychology) at Western University in London, Canada. Julia鈥檚 PhD research at 91社区聽under the supervision of Dr. Lisa Koski investigates neurotransmitter involvement in human neurological disease using non-invasive tools. This multimodal project has involved structural and functional neuroimaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and neuropsychological assessments to understand the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis. With the support of the Osler Travel Award, Julia will further explore research themes relevant to her PhD work聽at Oxford University聽under the supervision of Dr. Charlotte Stagg. This project will involve ultra-high field imaging and spectroscopy to investigate the pathophysiology of a severe autoimmune disorder.
Quote: 鈥淭he Osler Travel Award provides me with聽the valuable opportunity to extend my expertise in clinical neuroscience through a research聽experience at Oxford University. I am fortunate to work with Dr. Charlotte Stagg and other聽collaborators聽at Oxford to learn cutting-edge techniques and undertake an intriguing research project abroad.鈥�
