Galen was awarded a Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research grant: Investigation of DNA damage response as a genomic modifier in Rett syndrome Funded by Brain Canada ($100,000). This work was one of 20 projects funded and will allow the lab to investigate genetic modifiers using human stem cells, CRISPR gene editing and genomics!

Galen was awarded a Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Neurogenomics ($600,000)! This postion is federally funded through NSERC and will allow the lab to investigate fundamental processes in the brain using computational and functional genomic approaches.

The group was awarded our first grant! We are thankful for the support of the Health Sciences Centre Foundation (HSCF), who funded our General Operating Grant, Fine-mapping of neurodegenerative disorder genomic risk loci for the prioritization of novel drug targets ($70,000).
