The Quebec Bio-Imaging Network honours Professor Marie Brossard-Racine

We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Marie Brossard-Racine has been awarded the 2024 Rising Star in Bio-Imaging Prize by the Quebec Bio-Imaging Network (QBIN)! QBIN, established in 2008, promotes and facilitates collaborations among researchers in the field of bio-imaging across Quebec. QBIN aims to support innovative research initiatives and provides funding opportunities for trainees, fostering advancements in bio-imaging technologies and applications.

Dr. Brossard-Racine's innovative work at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre and her leadership at the ABCD Research Laboratory have been instrumental in advancing the field of pediatric bio-imaging. This prestigious award recognizes her outstanding contributions to pediatric neuroscience, specifically her research on the underlying mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders in children. As a recipient of this award, she was invited to present a talk entitled "Neuroimaging in survivors of early life adversities" as a keynote speaker at the QBIN Scientific Day 2024 hosted at Concordia University.

Congratulations to Dr.Marie Brossard-Racine and we are immensely grateful to QBIN for their continued support and recognition of groundbreaking research in the field of bio-imaging.

ABCD Research Lab was at HBHL 2024!

On May 8th-9th, 2024, Camille presented a poster of her work “Do neonatal respiratory morbidities influence hippocampal development in preterm-born infants?” at the annual symposium organized by Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives at McGill University.

Thank you to HBHL for the opportunity to present this work!

ABCD Research Lab was at PAS 2024!

On May 3rd-6th, 2024, our lab attended the annual Pediatric Academic Societies conference, held in Toronto, Canada. The conference reunited researchers and clinicians in the field of pediatrics.

Camille, a second-year MSc student in the lab, presented a poster of her work “Do neonatal respiratory morbidities influence hippocampal development in preterm-born infants?”.

Sarah, a postdoctoral fellow in the lab, presented a poster of her work “Social determinants of children’s neurodevelopment - a scoping review”.

See you next year at PAS 2025 in Hawaii!
