A huge congratulations to our director, Dr. Emberson, and our post-doc, Dr. Burr, who have received funding, awarded by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada!
Dr. Emberson has been awarded the Discovery Grant and Discovery Launch Supplement – an investment to scientific innovation and the continuation of fostering research excellence. The funding will go towards the advancement of Dr. Emberson’s exciting research on the Development of the Large-Scale Neural Networks in Infancy.
