Get to know HBHL-supported faculty recrui ts firsthand\, learn about their research\, ask questions and network with your peers during the post-event reception.\n\nEach event in this series features two HBHL faculty recruits whose research areas provide an interes ting contrast or intersection for discussion.\n\nApril Speakers: \n\n\n Nic olas Tritsch - 'Defining dopamine’s role in movement'\n Stephanie Zandee -  “A multi modular approach to characterize multiple sclerosis brain patholo gy in rapid autopsy brain tissue”\n Q&A moderated by HBHL Scientific Direct or Alan Evans\n\n\nSecure your spot today!\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nNicolas Tritsc h\, PhD\n\nDr. Tritsch is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psyc hiatry at the Douglas Research Centre and 91. After graduat ing from 91 with a BSc in immunology and an MSc in neuroscience\, he o btained a PhD in neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University\, completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School\, and began his independ ent career at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine\, where he explored how dopamine modulates the activity of brain circuits that con trol voluntary movements in health and disease. His laboratory relocated t o the Douglas Research Centre in 2024\, with the goal of deepening our und erstanding of neuromodulatory signalling in mental health disorders. Dr. T ritsch’s research uses a variety of optical\, genetic and physiological ap proaches in rodents to reveal how the mammalian brain learns and motivates action. \n\nStephanie Zandee\, PhD\n\n\n Dr. Stephanie Zandee obtained a B Sc in Molecular Life Sciences and a MSc in Molecular Mechanisms of Disease at the Radboud University Nijmegen (The Netherlands). She moved to the Un iversity of Edinburgh to carry out a PhD in the labs of Dr. Stephen Andert on and Dr. Anna Williams\, focusing on regulatory T cells in Multiple Scle rosis pathology. She continued her research in the lab of Dr. Alexandre Pr at at the CrCHUM in Montreal\, where she investigated the blood-brain barr ier in MS. Dr. Zandee has been extensively trained in MS neuropathology an d coordinated the Prat lab brain bank and autopsy program for eight years. Dr. Zandee has started her own research group at the Montreal Neurologica l Institute (The Neuro)\, 91\, as of July 2024. The Zandee lab is focusing on understanding MS lesion pathology at a single cell leve l using rapid autopsy derived tissue\, with a specific focus on the role o f the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-37 and regulatory T cells using machin e learning approaches.\n\n\n\n DTSTART:20260415T203000Z DTEND:20260415T223000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, Montreal Neurological Institut e\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Neurogenesis Speaker Series: April Edition URL:/hbhl/channels/event/neurogenesis-speaker-series-a pril-edition-372007 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
