🥼It's !

This week, we want you to meet Xulin, a Postdocoral Researcher in Dr. Carmela Tartaglia's Lab!

For the next few hours we'll be following Xulin to learn more about how her research aims to uncover early brain changes in dementia by combining neuroimaging and biomarker data 🧠

🎉✨ Please join us in celebrating Dr. Alfonso Fasano, Clinician Investigator with the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN, who has been awarded $20,000 in funding from HYDROCEPHALUS CANADA- formerly SB&H!

🧠This study aims to help people with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) recover better after surgery by exploring the benefits of timed rehabilitation by:

1️⃣ Testing whether starting a rehabilitation program 3–4 months after surgery leads to better recovery
2️⃣ Seeing how targeted exercise and mobility training affect walking, balance, and overall confidence
3️⃣ Figuring out if time‑sensitive rehabilitation can boost independence and long‑term function more than surgery alone

🎉✨ Please join us in celebrating Dr. Valeria Ramaglia, Scientist with the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN, who has been awarded more than $1.2 million in funding through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Fall 2025 Project Grant!

🧠 This project aims to uncover why memory declines as the immune system ages by:

1️⃣ Studying how aging immune cells damage the hippocampus, which is the brain’s memory centre
2️⃣ Comparing findings from the human brain with preclinical models
3️⃣ Identifying immune pathways that drive this damage, therefore opening the door to new treatment targets for age‑related memory loss

🎉✨ Please join us in celebrating Dr. Joshua Rosenblat, Clinician Investigator with the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN, who has been awarded more than $1.5 million in funding through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Fall 2025 Project Grant!

🍄‍🟫 This study aims to make psilocybin treatment safer and easier for people with hard‑to‑treat depression by:
1️⃣ Testing whether psilocybin can be safely added without stopping antidepressant medications
2️⃣ Comparing a full psychedelic dose to a very low, placebo‑like dose
3️⃣ Finding out if the full dose actually improves depression symptoms more than the tiny dose
4️⃣ Providing the first clear scientific evidence on combining psilocybin with antidepressants

🎉✨ Please join us in celebrating Dr. Carmela Tartaglia, Clinician Investigator with the Krembil Brain Institute at UHN, who has been awarded nearly $300,000 in funding from the Weston Family Foundation!

Only 7 researchers received this grant, focused on identifying and validating "novel, high-risk, high-reward solutions for neurodegenerative diseases of aging (NDAs)."

🧠 Dr. Tartaglia’s project aims to bring precision medicine to neurodegenerative disease by:�
1️⃣ Identifying a person’s exact set of misfolded proteins�
2️⃣ Building treatments around that specific mix
3️⃣ Creating a pathway for personalized drug discovery

💜🧠This , we’re taking you inside how Alzheimer’s disease research and care come together at UHN’s Krembil Brain Institute.

For our final day, we’re highlighting how our support workers curate and personalize educational resources to help families make sense of Alzheimer’s disease, giving caregivers the clear, accessible information and confidence they need to feel supported every step of the way. 📚📱
