Do you know how to commercialize your work?

Join CCNA’s first Talking Brain Webinar of 2021

On February 2, 2021 (12:30 – 1:45 pm EST), join us to meet a panel of researchers with entrepreneurial experience. The panel will share insights about their path to entrepreneurship, including the obstacles they faced, and the supports and resources they recommend. They will also reflect on navigating the differences between work in the academic world and work in the entrepreneurial world.

Our panelists (from left to right):

  • Sultan Darvesh, MD, PhD, FRCPC, Professor of Neurology at Dalhousie University, Scientific co-founder of Treventis Corporation, and CCNA member of Team 4.
  • Etienne De Villers-Sidani, MD, Neurologist at the Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute – McGill University) and founder of Innodem Neurosciences.
  • Melanie Campbell, PhD, Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University of Waterloo. Dr Campbell developed a new diagnostic tool that can identify Alzheimer’s disease long before the onset of symptoms using polarized light scans.
  • Elyn Rowe, PhD student at University of British-Columbia and founding member of the A Month in Dementia Research (AMiNDR) podcast.

And with Shusmita Rashid, Senior Manager, Knowledge Mobilization, at Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation, CCNA’s commercialization partner.
