Here are a few examples of my work. My most recent publication is for the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). 2012-2017 Strategic Plan -- CIHR Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (INMHA)My colleage Dr. Chrystal Palaty and I worked closely with the INMHA Scientific Director, as well as the Institute Advisory Board, on this Strategic Plan, which took almost a year to complete. We are very proud of the results. INMHA’s overall objective is to ensure a more integrated approach to patient care, emphasizing brain health research across the healthcare spectrum from biomedical and clinical, to health systems and services, and to the social, psychological, cultural and environmental factors that affect the health of populations. This five-year Strategic Plan aims to foster research that will show clear evidence of change in the brain health paradigm that reflects closer collaboration between preclinical and clinical neuroscience researchers.
