Researchers in this cluster focus on the pathophysiology associated with brain conditions such as dementia, head injury/concussion and stroke. More specific projects focus on areas such as the consequences of concussions on the aging brain and on pharmacological and stem cell interventions to reduce or reverse damage to the brain.

.@jtquilliam is an impeccable Chief of Protocol for the Province & an amazing MC for the SOM ceremonies. He is an incredible creative individual who gets to the core of the issues he discusses/presents in formal functions. I’m grateful to have met you, Jason. You make SK proud.
Congratulations @DrThomasHadjist !! 🍾🥂🏆
The @CanadianPain is proud to see one of our members recognized with the Saskatchewan Order of Merit! 🎉 One of the most prestigious recognitions to add to a long list of well-deserved awards for an outstanding career.
It was an amazing honour to be invested in the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been part of this journey: my students (some in the photo) knowledge users with lived experience, @UofRegina, colleagues, collaborators
UofR's Dr. Natasha Gallant has been named a Canada Research Chair in Aging and Long-Term Care, focused on reducing isolation & loneliness among older adults to prevent or delay dementia. This award is part of $4.4M in federal funding to U of R scholars!
